After lunch, Li Tang took a nap. When I woke up, I was bored and watched TV for a while. The local TV station in Wuxi was rebroadcasting "Spring and Pig" starring Bald Xu.
Although this TV series is very popular and stars Bald Xu, to be honest, Li Tang doesn't really like watching this kind of mythological TV series. Of course, this is purely personal taste. He still prefers relatively realistic TV series to myths.
However, what was shown on TV today happened to be the plot between Wu Gang and Chang'e in the "Heaven Fall Apart Love You to Death" section. Liu Xiaofeng, who plays Wu Gang, is his classmate, and Chen Hong is particularly eye-catching. As a result, he actually took it in. It wasn't until Jia Yuling called that he suddenly realized that it was almost four o'clock, so he quickly got up to pack and go out.
Going down to the second floor, Jia Yuling was waiting at the elevator entrance.
"Xiao Jia, thank you!"
This kind of assistant who takes the initiative to fill in the gaps deserves praise.
Jia Yuling hurriedly waved her hands and said: "It's okay, brother, hurry up, everyone is almost here."
Li Tang nodded at her and walked quickly towards the conference room indicated by Jia Yuling.
When I pushed open the door of the conference room, I saw that it was almost full. Everyone looked over, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. Fortunately, Li Tang reacted quickly, bowed to everyone, and said: "Hello teachers, my name is Li Tang, I play the role of Lin Pingzhi, this is the first time we meet, please take care of me."
After saying that, he bowed again.
The air froze for half a second, then suddenly there was a "boom" and everyone laughed in unison.
An embarrassment was resolved invisibly.
Even Zhang Dabeard, who looked very serious, relaxed a lot at this time.
Li Tangze secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly found an empty seat to sit down.
"Hello Li Tang!"
A whispering voice came from the side.
Li Tang looked back and saw a standard oval face, a straight bridge and a slightly raised nose, a pair of charming eyes, and when he smiled, he had the same dimples at the corners of his mouth as his temporary assistant.
This was the first time he saw this sister so close, and he said hurriedly: "Hello, Sister Xu Qing!"
Although this was their first meeting, Li Tang had known this person for a long time. The first-generation Beijing princess, Da Sa Mi, Wang Zhiwen’s ex-girlfriend, etc. It is said that the current boyfriend has a very good background. He is a close disciple of a master of traditional Chinese culture, a listed company boss with a net worth of billions, and is also known as "a generation of Confucian businessmen".
All in all, this sister is almost in her early thirties now, but her face is smooth and fair, her skin is firm, and she is still so tender that you can squeeze out water.
Of course, he didn't dare to mess with this person randomly. After saying hello, he sat down and behaved.
At this time, a girl on the other side reached out to him: "So it's you who plays Lin Pingzhi. My name is Miao Yiyi and I play Yue Lingshan. Please take care of me!"
Oops, I accidentally sat between the two heroines.
But there is nothing between the two of them that will leave a seat free?
Li Tang didn't care to think too deeply, he quickly held this soft little hand and said: "Hello, happy cooperation!"
Lin Pingzhi, who he plays, has the most scenes opposite him in the film, but he's just a bit unfamiliar. But after all, once you are born, you will be familiar with twice!
At this time, the bearded man sitting in the middle coughed twice, and the slightly noisy conference room suddenly became quiet. The bearded man looked serious, glanced around with sharp eyes, then turned his head and asked the assistant producer in charge of counting heads: "Is everyone here?"
The assistant producer said: "Everyone is here except Teacher Shao Bin who is not here."
The bearded man nodded, actually feeling a little uncomfortable. Speaking of which, Shao Bin was appointed by him, and the conditions were quite generous. Not only did he get a salary of more than one million yuan, but he also met Shao Bin's requirements of living in a luxurious suite and having four assistants. Unexpectedly, he received a call from Shao Bin just yesterday, saying that he had something to do and could not report to the crew as scheduled and asked for a few days off.
The contract was signed, and an advance payment of hundreds of thousands was given, and it was hand-picked by myself, but he even said he wouldn't come.
What can be done?
Lao Zhang could only hold his nose and admit it.
To put it bluntly, "The Swordsman" has only one protagonist, and that is Linghu Chong. The rest, Ren Yingying, junior sister, Lin Pingzhi, etc., to put it nicely, one girl, two boys, two boys, are actually supporting roles, and they all exist to highlight Linghu Chong.
From the adaptation and preparation of "The Swordsman" to the present, the key to the success of this drama lies in the character of Linghu Chong. To be honest, as the producer in charge, Beard is still under a lot of pressure. The reason why Shao Bin was originally chosen to play the role of Linghu Chong was because of his acting skills and popularity. Starting from "Red River Valley", almost every one of his films was a hit.
But since the news of Shao Bin starring in Linghu Chong spread, the Internet has been overwhelmingly opposed. This makes Lao Zhang feel a little guilty, but he is not the kind of person who is willing to compromise easily. On the surface, he still supports Shao Bin.
The old man has accomplished this. It stands to reason that Shao Bin should understand the situation, but Shao Bin doesn't know how to count, and he is still putting on a show. They say that the drama is bigger than the sky, but he doesn't believe that Shao Bin has anything more important than joining the team to film.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's introduce ourselves. Well, Li Tang just introduced himself, so let's start with Xu Qing."
Except for Shao Bin, who was not here, Xu Qing was the most famous person present. This sister stood up gracefully, with a signature smile on her face, and imitated Li Tang just said: "My name is Xu Qing. I play the role of Ren Yingying in the play. Please take care of me."
When she finished her introduction, the audience actually burst into applause. It seemed that this sister was not only famous, but also quite popular.
Next is Miao Yiyi who plays the role of the junior sister, followed by Chen Lifeng who plays the role of the young nun Yilin, Liu Dong who plays Ning Zhongze and so on.
Most of the faces were unfamiliar to Li Tang, until a calm male voice said: "I am Wei Zi, playing the role of Yue Buqun." His eyes suddenly lit up, and when he clapped his hands, he looked towards Wei Zi.
His impression of Wei Zi came from a TV series called "Shanghai Vicissitudes". This drama, also produced by Shanghai Film Studio and commemorating the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Shanghai, is somewhat of a companion piece to the movie "Shanghai Chronicle" starring Li Tang.
No matter what the plot of "Shanghai Vicissitudes" is, Li Tang felt inferior after watching the acting skills of the male protagonist Wei Zi in this TV series, especially his lines, which are particularly good. It can even be said that you don't need to watch his dramas to use them. Just listen.
When he looked at Wei Zi with star-struck eyes, Wei Zi happened to look over, and their eyes met. A look of surprise flashed across Wei Zi's face, but he immediately nodded friendly to Li Tang.
To put it bluntly, the meeting is to make everyone familiar with each other, and the dinner party afterwards is to deepen the impression.
Li Tang finally had the opportunity to have a drink with Teacher Wei Zi: "Teacher Wei, I really like your performance, especially your lines..."
Teacher Wei Zi interrupted with an awkward look: "No, no, no, Xiao Li, my surname is not Wei, my surname is Wang, Wang Wei. Everyone is used to calling me Wei Zi, so..."
Look at what happened. It's so embarrassing. Why do you always choose a stage name when you say it's okay?
Fortunately, Li Tang remained calm in the face of danger and continued sincerely: "Teacher Wang, I particularly like your performance, especially your lines, which amaze me. I will definitely learn from you if I have the opportunity."
Teacher Wei Zi was very embarrassed by this outburst, and hurriedly said: "Learn from each other, learn from each other."
Although Li Tang is the second male lead, he can only be considered a junior among all the actors. Even Miao Yiyi, who is one year younger than him, is older than him. He debuted in 1993 and also played in Xiao Qing's grandma's version. In "Wu Zetian", she played the stunningly beautiful Lady Helan of Wei.
All Li Tang could do was to be low-key and modest, and frequently toasted to the seniors.
Looking at Li Tang walking among the crowd, Zhang Jizhong, who has always been as steady as an old dog, was thoughtful. He also won the Huabiao Award and was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award, but why is the gap between people so big? Woolen cloth?
If only Shao Bin could be half as sensible as Li Tang...
The bearded man shook his head, doubting for the first time whether he was right in choosing Shao Bin to play the role of Linghu Chong.
…
"The Swordsman" has a lot of fighting scenes. If we follow the standards of "Water Margin", Li Tang once heard the old master who played Lin Chong at the drama center say that you should start with the basic steps and then practice the routines. The tricks for each scene are different and need to be practiced repeatedly.
The old mage went from being a Shanghai boy with no martial arts skills to becoming Lin Chong, the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Army with outstanding martial arts skills in the TV series. It only took him half a year to practice these tricks.
So now the crew only gives twenty days to train. At most, they are just scratching the surface. Most of the actions may require a stand-in to complete, and the photographer's skills will be particularly tested at that time.
Early the next morning, all the actors were summoned by action director Yuan Bing to practice martial arts movements.
More than a dozen martial arts groups divided everyone into eight groups and started practicing from the most basic steps.
He has some background in martial arts, and Li Tang, who has filmed two martial arts dramas, is very familiar with it.
But there was another girl who was even more awesome. She skipped the basic moves and started practicing tricks with Wu Xing. The key point was that Wu Xing treated her with respect.
This girl is none other than Concubine Li, the gold medalist in spears, swordsmanship and Nanquan at the fifth World Wushu Championships last year. Not to mention, she also won the runner-up title of Miss Macau before winning the first, second and third world championships in history for Macau.
This world is all about appearance at all times. It was the blessing of the "Miss Macau" aura that made this martial arts champion famous all of a sudden. Especially when Macau just returned last year, the mainland media also followed up with reports.
Zhang Dabeard's acumen in this area is absolutely top-notch, and he immediately came to ask her to play the role of Lan Fenghuang, the leader of the Five Poison Sect of Miao in "The Swordsman". The reason is very simple, this Miss Macau happens to be a girl from Guangxi.
In ancient times, Guangxi and Yunnan belonged to Miao territory.
