"Brother, something big happened. Shao Bin and Teacher Zhang had a fight on the set today. Shao Bin stopped filming and went back to the hotel."
That evening Li Tang received a call from temporary assistant Jia Yuling.
Wow, Shao Bin finally got his act together and even dared to yell at Zhang Beard. What a great job!
Li Tang secretly praised Shao Bin and quickly asked: "What's going on?"
It turns out that Shao Bin was answering the phone while filming. If the call was short, forget it. Everyone could understand that the dozens of staff on site would wait a moment. But this guy took the call for more than half an hour, leaving the on-site staff waiting in vain while his stand-in was still hanging on the wire. Lao Zhang couldn't bear it anymore and scolded Shao Bin on the spot.
Shao Bin couldn't bear this anger, not even Zhang Jizhong, so he just left his son and went back to the hotel. Well, I wasted an afternoon and didn’t get anything done.
You should know that the cost of a day's crew deployment is at least ten or two hundred thousand yuan, and a hundred thousand yuan is wasted in half a day. It is said that Lao Zhang was so angry that he was shaking all over.
Although Li Tang has left the crew these days, Jia Yuling is very smart. If there is any trouble on the crew, she will call immediately to report it. This girl doesn't even have a mobile phone and has to find a phone. It's really difficult for her. Li Tang is thinking about waiting for the filming to be completed. , I have to give her a mobile phone as a token of appreciation.
Speaking of which, there is really endless news about the crew these days, most of which are related to Shao Bin. Not to mention things like being late for filming and answering the phone, she even scolded Miao Yiyi, who plays the junior sister Yue Lingshan, to tears several times.
To be honest, Miao Yiyi's acting skills are a bit lacking, but actors, when they first start working together, they always have to get used to it and get used to it. It would be understandable if you said you were doing it to arouse the emotions of your rival actors, but it would be too much if you were just relying on your big name to bully others.
Li Tang was very glad that he was not on the set these days, so out of sight was out of mind. At the same time, it is inevitable to have some worries. You said that with such an excellent person, how can we cooperate in the future?
He was really worried that he would beat the other person if he couldn't control his temper. Even though Shao Bin is tall, stupid, and thick, he can easily hit two of these guys with his bare hands.
After listening to Jia Yuling's report, Li Tang thought for a while and asked, "I haven't been on the set these days. Did the director say anything to Teacher Zhang?"
"I didn't say anything. The main reason is that several leaders are worried about Shao Bin. I heard that Director Huang is very dissatisfied with him. Playing a big name is the second best thing. The most important thing is that he can't get into the state. Oh, by the way, brother, Xu Qing My sister has been away for two days and just came back today. I guess she went out to relax because the filming didn't go well."
After hearing these words, Li Tang finally had some idea. Zhang Dabeard didn't care today. He dared not give Shao Bin face in public. It didn't matter whether he was a big name or anything like that. As Jia Yuling said, the key was that Shao Bin couldn't get into the state. This was the most important thing. The old man was anxious.
If your scene is good enough, as long as you don't affect the filming progress, no matter how big your name is, both the producer and the director will probably turn a blind eye.
As for Xu Qing being gone for two days, maybe the male lead couldn't get into the mood, and the female lead was anxious and couldn't find anything to do, so she used this method to express her dissatisfaction.
As for talking about yourself, Li Tang, you have already made up your mind. As long as the crew does not urge you, he will not reply. As the saying goes, “out of sight, out of sight.”
"Well, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Jia."
"Brother, look at what you said. I am your assistant, and this is my job. Brother, don't worry..."
Jia Yuling is good at everything, but she is a bit talkative and takes every opportunity to show her loyalty and flatter her. Li Tang's balls ache every time he hears this, but he understands Xiao Jia very well. For such a low-level person with no background, the only thing left to improve is his own ability.
After finally being bombarded by Xiao Jia's flattery, Li Tang said "goodbye" and hung up the phone.
The phone call took a bit long. He apologized to the person sitting opposite: "I'm sorry, Brother Qian."
Brother Qian opposite said with a mouthful of Beijing movies: "It's okay, Teacher Xu Zheng hasn't arrived yet."
With that said, he picked up the teapot on the table and filled Li Tang's cup with water.
That's right, after Li Tang sent Fan Xiaopang back to Suzhou that day, he has been hanging out with the crew of "Li Wei as an Official" for the past few days. Although he had a separate room in the hotel where the crew stayed, anyone with a discerning eye knew that they were a couple, but they just didn't tell the truth.
"Hey, Brother Qian, are you still talking about cross talk now?"
The Qian brother in front of me is a crosstalk actor from the Beijing Folk Art Troupe. In recent years, both drama troupes and folk art troupes have been in recession. Actors have been looking for their own way. For example, this Qian brother often appears in various film and television dramas. This time, he played the role of Wei Minzhong, the prefect of Jiangning, in Li Wei's Official Affairs. He had a role in two or three episodes and was considered a supporting role of considerable importance.
Speaking of which, Brother Qian is quite versatile. Not only did he have a background in cross talk in elementary school, he also studied in the directing department of Nortel. Guangtou Xu, the leading actor and producer, happened to lack someone to help him, a role similar to an assistant director, so Brother Qian stood out and became a non-staff assistant director on the crew.
This brother Qian has the natural kindness and friendliness of an old Beijinger. He has a very good personality, likes to play and eat. He drinks a lot and has good wine. Li Tang gets along very well with him over time.
This person should be humble and low-key, and integrate with each other, so that not only can he gather friends around him, but his life can also be colorful. If he was like Shao Bin, spending the whole day with five people and six people, looking down on this and that, and acting like I'm a big star, Li Tang wouldn't even understand what he was thinking.
They say that if a person lacks something, he should show off. Maybe this person has been hurt in the past, which makes him so arrogant and even a little abnormal.
Brother Qian heard Li Tang's question and said with a smile: "Say it, I have to say it. It's just that not many people talk in the city now, they all go to the countryside to talk."
Li Tang didn't know much about cross talk in his previous life. It wasn't until he merged with his original memory after time travel that he realized that cross talk was probably a talk show. It used to be very popular in China, but it has gradually disappeared in recent years. It can occasionally be seen on TV shows, but it never feels funny.
At this time, it is not difficult to find from Brother Qian's words that this performance, like many operas, has almost begun to decline.
Brother Qian continued: "Actually, you can't make much money by performing in the countryside. I just like it. After all, I learned this when I was a child. Now I am partnered with an external actor from our folk art troupe. I usually go to open-air squares in the suburbs to perform when I have nothing to do. It’s quite interesting, mainly because there are no restrictions and you can say anything.”
This is true, talk shows are very popular in the United States, and their biggest feature is their large scale. As Brother Qian said, they can say anything, from making fun of presidential dignitaries to celebrities and passers-by. In the past, we could talk about racial issues, but now with all the so-called political correctness, many of them can no longer be discussed.
While talking, Bald Xu arrived in a hurry. This guy is now the busy man of the entire crew. He is nominally the male lead, but in fact he also works as a producer and director. Moreover, Li Tang has always admired this guy's ability to deal with interpersonal relationships. For example, this time he almost ignored the director, but at least the director had no complaints on the surface and even took the initiative to help him.
In this regard, not everyone can do it.
Brother Qian quickly stood up and poured him a cup of tea, and asked with concern: "Will there be any mistakes over there?"
Baldy Xu took two sips of tea before breathing evenly, waving his hands and saying, "I've gone through the play once, so it won't be a big problem if Director Zheng is watching over me."
After saying that, he turned his eyes to Li Tang, looked at this guy's slightly haggard face, and said with a smile: "Brother, I have been here for a long time. I have a word of advice. Some things are too much and too little is too much. You must be careful with your body!"
Although he was speaking Shanghainese, Yu Qian could still understand it half-heartedly. After all, he was a crosstalk actor, and he focused on the four skills of speaking, learning, singing, and singing. Among them, dialect is called learning dialect, which is a basic skill that must be mastered.
At this moment, Brother Qian also started laughing happily.
In fact, the three of them can get together. In addition to being similar in age (Li Tang is 74, Xu Guangtou is 72, and Brother Qian is 69) and they have similar temperaments, they also have one thing in common: they are all in love.
Fan Xiaopang is seven years younger than Li Tang. Although Xiao Taohong is a few months older than Xu Guangtou, the advantage is that he is a big star. In comparison, Brother Qian is the most awesome, and his little girlfriend is ten years younger than him. The two have been together for several years and are said to be planning to get married.
Li Tang knew that Guangtou Xu was not holding back anything good. He used to tease him all the time, but now that he got the chance, he wouldn't let it go!
These days are definitely painful and happy for Li Tang. After Xiaopang tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, he was particularly enthusiastic about this kind of thing. Every night, I would sneak into his room with a script in hand, euphemistically saying: Ask Teacher Li for advice on the script.
After all, the room she lived in was on the same floor as the cast and staff of the production crew, and Li Tang deliberately avoided the floor where the production crew was located when he checked out the room.
Xiaopang is not only in good spirits, but also in good physical condition. The key is that she has a very strong thirst for knowledge, so that Li Tang explains the script to her for a long time every night. Whenever she encounters some important scenes, he has to explain them repeatedly and talk thoroughly. Despite the support of wolfberry and cordyceps, my energy is still low.
However, after Li Tang's training during this period, Xiaopang's skills have made great progress. Although he is still not proficient in playing, playing and singing, he is at least somewhat capable and can even draw inferences.
Baldy Xu took the opportunity to tease Li Tang a few words, but he was very precise and stopped in moderation.
As the food and wine arrived, Baldy Xu greeted Brother Qian with his first drink: "Lao Yu, thank you for your hard work!"
In a word, the key is to be sincere and give enough face.
Brother Qian looked very excited and said hurriedly: "Teacher Xu, you are so polite. I have learned a lot from being by your side. It's not too late for me to thank you."
