On January 4, 2000, the first day after the New Year's Day holiday of the new millennium, "Springtime Pig" starring Bald Xu finally started airing. Moreover, it is a four-star simulcast of Fulan, HLJ, Shandong, and Jiangxi. The first two days of the broadcast were uneventful, but on the third day, the ratings increased rapidly.
By the end of January, it had achieved an average ratings of 31% on HLJ, 30.87% in Shandong, 28.33% in Jiangxi, and 23.42% in Fulan. Another phenomenal TV series was born, and Baldy Xu became an instant hit.
"Big brother, congratulations! How can I feel like a big star? Don't look down on your little brother!"
"Don't talk too much. Do you want me to treat you? Apart from the flower wine, you can choose the rest."
In a rare moment of generosity, Bald Xu looked really proud of himself.
"Um……"
Li Tang thought for a while and said, "My ears have been itchy these past two days. How about I go to Hong Kong City to take a bath and dig out my ears so that they can be cut?"
Guangtou Xu on the other end of the phone exploded when he heard this: "You are seeking death. Is this a good place to go? Eat, eat, find a place to eat, don't talk about anything else."
Just kidding, Hong Kong has a lot of bathhouses. If two people can do a few projects, it will only cost NT$3,000!
Then, he asked: "What's the end of time over there?"
"It's estimated that there are still two days left."
"Then this weekend, Saturday, Oedo, I'll treat you to Japanese food. Do you think you have time?"
Hearing Xu Guangtou speak so formally, Li Tang stopped joking: "Okay, let's meet again in Chenguang."
…
"Li Tang, are you ready?"
"alright."
Li Tang was dressed like a long-term worker, but he wore two sets of thermal underwear. He was still a little inconvenient when he just warmed up.
This scene was about his character Xing Zhengyang drinking to relieve his sorrows. He fell drunk at Bao Gong Temple. Widow Xing ordered someone to pour water on him to wake him up, and then cursed him. Then Zhao Wenzuo and Wang Yan tried their best to persuade him to completely wake up. .
Everything else is easy to say, except that it is too painful to splash water on the body. You must know that it is late January and it is the coldest winter, and you cannot use warm water. It is foggy and easy to wear, so you can only use cold water.
The crew deliberately arranged this scene at noon, when the sun was in the sky.
Before filming started, Ding Yangguo took a loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "Everyone, cheer up and try to get through!"
Zhao Wenzhuo, Wang Yan, and Yu Li, the two supporting characters playing the role of servants, took their positions, and there were two wooden barrels half filled with water next to them.
Li Tang lay down directly on the ground. Although the sun was shining brightly at noon, the ground was still cold and the exposed fingers were numb from the cold.
everything's ready.
"Action!"
"Wow!"
Half a bucket of cold water was poured over Duotou. Although Li Tang, who was lying on the ground pretending to be drunk, was mentally prepared, he was still poured cold water to his core. He jumped up and sat up with confusion in his eyes.
"Splash it again, splash it harder, splash it harder, splash it!"
Yu Li jumped to the side and shouted with an expression of hatred for iron.
The supporting actor who played the role of a male servant was a little hesitant, but after Yu Li's repeated urging, he could only throw the other half of the bucket of water at Li Tang.
"Sister-in-law Xing, that's enough, that's enough!" Wang Yan urged anxiously from the side.
After saying that, he ran over to help Li Tang, who was soaked all over, and started speaking his lines.
The general meaning is that it is wrong for you to be drunk like this. You have to be a trustworthy person and do not hesitate to work for the Liang family. But Xiuyun is now married to the son of the Liang family. If you meet in private, Xiuyun will become untrustworthy. Are you alive? Shen Xinci, who had been dead for many years and had a dedicated personality, was even brought out for comparison. When Wang Yan talked about her former love rival, she actually had a look of admiration on her face.
As for the scumbag Zhao Shijun played by Zhao Wentiao, when he heard Wang Yan telling Shen Xinci's past, he didn't feel any embarrassment or shame at all. He spoke to Li Tang plausibly. Well, it was considered to be an instructive lesson, and then Li Tang suddenly woke up.
"Cut!"
As soon as the director shouted stop, a staff member immediately brought a military coat and put it on Li Tang.
Li Tang's lips were blue from the cold for a long time, and he was still shaking uncontrollably even though he was wrapped in a military coat.
"Brother Li, take a sip to warm your body."
Xiao Tang promptly delivered a cup of hot coffee.
"Thanks!"
Li Tang took it tremblingly and nodded in Jiang Qinqin's direction to express his gratitude.
While drinking coffee, he looked in the direction of the director. He asked himself that there was nothing wrong with the scene just now. Even if there was a problem, it must be someone else. But if it happened again, he might not be able to bear it.
Ding Yangguo was watching the replay. Li Tang was naturally as stable as ever, and Wang Yan's performance was also good. The problem lay with Zhao Wenzhuo. This guy is a martial arts actor, so he's naturally good at action scenes, but his literary dramas are always a bit underwhelming. Just like when Wang Yan mentioned Shen Xinci when she was persuading Li Tang, the camera specifically gave him a close-up, but the guy didn't react at all and just stood there with a paralyzed expression on his face.
At that time, Ding Yangguo wanted to stop, but if he did, he would have to start over. It's unreasonable for you to make Li Tang suffer twice in such a cold weather. Besides, Li Tang is not a cat or a dog who can be manipulated at will.
Ding Yangguo watched the replay, pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's passed, Wenzhuo will do a close-up."
Upon hearing this, Li Tang hurriedly said: "Director, I will withdraw first."
Ding Yangguo nodded: "Well, thank you for your hard work!"
Li Tang returned the cup to Xiao Tang, wrapped himself in a military coat and ran to the hotel. Wrapped in a military coat, the wind couldn't blow in, but his whole body was already freezing, and he was really worried that he would get sick.
After returning to the room, I took off my soaked clothes, stood under the faucet, and poured hot water for about ten minutes before I finally recovered.
Not long after, the doorbell rang, and he walked over to open the door in his bathrobe. It turned out that the hotel attendant had brought over a pot of freshly brewed brown sugar ginger tea.
Li Tang's deepest feeling during this filming was that the crew did a good job in providing logistical support. Of course, this is also due to the special environment here in Shengqiang Film and Television City.
For example, they are the only crew filming here in the film and television city. The hotel is right next to the film and television city, and it is very convenient for food and accommodation.
Li Tang drank ginger soup tea, wrapped himself in a quilt to cover his sweat, and felt relieved after making sure he didn't have a stuffy nose or headache. Seeing that it was almost time, he took another shower, changed his clothes, packed his luggage, went downstairs to have dinner, and prepared to say hello and farewell to everyone. Because today's scene is his last scene and it's finished.
When he just walked into the restaurant, he heard a burst of applause, and everyone in the restaurant stood up and applauded him. He could occasionally see this scene in his previous life. For example, when he performed a great performance, as an important supporting role, he could enjoy the applause and tribute from the team.
But this was my first time traveling through time, so I was somewhat flattered. I hurriedly put my hands together and bowed to thank everyone.
Director Ding Yangguo specially brought him a bouquet of flowers.
To be honest, looking at Old Ding's yellow hair and sloppy appearance, Li Tang felt a little...well, I can't say he was uncomfortable. He was a little uncomfortable anyway. Couldn't he find a beautiful girl to present flowers, such as Jiang Qinqin.
Immediately afterwards, the proprietress and producer Jiang Xuerou slowly walked over pushing a cake, a square piece of fresh milk cake with the words "Happy filming, Mr. Li Tang!"
"Teacher Li Tang, happy finishing! Thank you for your hard work!"
"Thank you! Thank you Sister Xuerou, thank you Director Ding! Thank you Director Li! Thank you everyone!"
Li Tang made the first cut and handed the cake to the waiter to share among everyone.
"Li Tang, let's work together again if we have the chance."
"Hey, please take care of me, Brother Zhao, from now on."
Zhao Wenzhuo said with a sincere expression: "Really, I'm not saying this politely. I really hope we have the opportunity to work together again."
After this cooperation, he has a very good impression of Li Tang, because in the past filming, he often met some actors with good acting skills. Maybe unintentionally, maybe out of jealousy, they often deliberately crushed him in dramas. , making a fool of himself.
To be honest, he was quite helpless about this, because he was inferior to others in terms of skills. But Li Tang is different. He will not do whatever he wants based on his acting skills. In a few scenes with rivals, he clearly felt that Li Tang was flattering him, and even took the initiative to help him make up for it.
Of course, Li Tang didn't know that the kung fu star in front of him had such a mental journey. In his previous life, he was used to playing supporting roles, and he was very conscious of supporting roles.
At this time, seeing that Zhao Wenzhuo wanted to show his kindness, he also said in a sincere tone: "Thank you, Brother Zhao. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely ask Brother Zhao for advice."
In fact, Li Tang felt a bit regretful this time. You must know that the man in front of you is not only good at long swords and big guns, but is also said to be able to skillfully use more than 300 sets of boxing techniques from different schools.
There are more than three hundred sets, and Li Tang feels that as long as he can get a small amount from others, he will be able to benefit from it endlessly.
It's just a pity that the shooting time this time was too tight. As the leading actor Zhao Wenzuo, his shooting schedule was very full and he had very little free time. Naturally, it was not easy for him to disturb him rashly.
"Son, when are you leaving?"
Li Tang turned around helplessly and saw Yu Li walking over gracefully.
This girl always takes advantage of him by playing the role of Zhengyang's girl in the play.
"Sister Yu, if you really want to be my mother, I have no objection. My father happens to be single, how about I help you introduce him?"
"Okay, how about you bring your dad over and let me take a look!"
Northeastern women are like tigers, and they don't tolerate meat or vegetables, so they pushed Li Tang away with just one sentence.
Speaking of which, this girl is tall and beautiful, with a straightforward and cheerful personality, which makes her a good match for Lao Li. It's just a pity that Lao Li is still too young to be a star and cannot reach the heights of a star.
Forget it, after a few words, Li Tang made a goodbye gesture to her, said hello to the rich wife Wang Yan, and walked up to Jiang Qinqin.
"Qinqin, speaking of the last time you invited me to dinner, I still didn't reply. When will you have time to give me a favor?"
Jiang Qinqin rolled her eyes at him and said mockingly: "We've already completed the project, and now I think of asking you back. You're so sincere!"
After working together for more than a month, Jiang Qinqin has already seen through this guy, and he always teases her when he has nothing to do. But you can flirt with me, please be serious, okay?
In fact, her current mentality is similar to that of most girls who have been broken up with, and she is a bit broken. Especially for someone like her who wants looks, money, fame, everything, and yet she is still being broken up, the feeling of humiliation is definitely greater than the sadness.
Well, don’t you look down on me? Then I’ll find someone better. It just happened that Li Tang came up to him in a mean way. Although this guy was annoying, he was handsome and had good acting skills. Although his current status was not high, he had won awards after all. There was no way her ex-boyfriend could compare with him, so Jiang Qinqin had some ideas. But this guy only talks about it but doesn't take any actual actions. He always hangs at the door and refuses to come in, which makes her feel uncomfortable.
"No, although the movie has been completed, I'm still in Shanghai. I'll be here whenever you call." This guy still had the character of someone who deserves a beating, and said with a smile.
If Jiang Qinqin could see through him, he could also see through the other person's temperament. Generally speaking, beautiful girls are often praised by others, and it is easy for them to develop arrogance, which is commonly known as princess disease.
Jiang Qinqin is no exception, especially at such a young age and having a successful career, she is like a rose with thorns, stubborn, domineering, self-righteous, unable to accept good words, etc.
So Li Tang just took advantage of it verbally and never dared to reach out to pick it for fear of pricking his hands.
But today he obviously miscalculated a bit. Jiang Qinqin did not ignore him with a straight face like before. Instead, she crossed her arms and looked at him with a smile and said: "Okay, is this what you said, to be available when called and to keep your word? "
"Uh...of course it counts!"
At this moment, he could only bite the bullet and comply.
First update, second update at noon.
