Sure enough, at the exchange meeting after the movie screening, a reporter asked: "Li Tang, I would like to ask you about the recent rumors that Shao Bin was replaced by the crew because of his role as a big star, and you were chosen as Linghu Chong's replacement. Could you please tell me Is it true?"
Damn it, which media reporter is so awesome? He doesn’t even call the teacher, but calls him by his first name.
Li Tang, who was sitting on the stage, took a glance and saw a young reporter wearing glasses asking a question.
"Which media reporter are you from?" Li Tang asked with a smile while holding the microphone.
This reporter was obviously a newbie. He was stunned at first, then realized that he had forgotten to identify himself, and hurriedly said: "I am a reporter from the Beijing News."
Oh, it turns out to be the Bagua Base, no wonder.
There is no airtight wall in this world. Even if the crew is closed and all interviews are refused, no matter how well the confidentiality work is done, after all, there are hundreds of people on the crew, and it is inevitable that the news will spread again. What's more, it's been a month since this happened, and some tabloids have already started to report on it. The news is often said to come from someone familiar with the matter.
These days, the big media, even some gossip media, are very particular about the authenticity of the news. They generally will not follow the rumors or quote an unknown insider. What they need is a heavyweight. Hard evidence that broke the news.
Since no relevant personnel from the crew could be interviewed, Li Tang, who appeared at the "Very Summer" exchange meeting today, became the best candidate for interview.
Fortunately, Li Tang got Tan Fei's reminder and communicated with Zhang DaHu on the phone in advance. Zhang DaHu said that he could talk about the drama "The Swordsman" itself, but it was best not to talk to him about Shao Bin. The media revealed that the crew will respond to the media's concerns in a unified manner.
Li Tang thought that the crew planned to handle it in a low-key manner. After all, this kind of thing was not a good thing. If it was really exposed to the world, it would cause great harm to Shao Bin himself.
At this time, Li Tang took the microphone and replied: "You said it yourself just now, but I don't know about the situation you mentioned. As for the question about me being Linghu Chong's replacement, I can answer you, true."
The young reporter was obviously dissatisfied with Li Tang's answer and quickly asked: "Since you are a substitute, how could you not know?"
Li Tang looked surprised and asked: "As a substitute, why do I have to know?"
As he said that, he did not give the reporter a chance to ask another question and explained: "I can tell you that I left the crew on the first day after the filming started. Later, I received a notice from the crew to substitute me for the role of Linghu Chong. , I just returned to the set, and I don’t know what happened in the meantime.”
Although everyone at the scene knew that he was talking nonsense, his answers were so well-founded that you couldn't refute him.
However, another reporter immediately seized on the fact that Li Tang left the crew and asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Li, you said that you left the crew on the first day of filming. Did you have a conflict with the crew, or were you originally dissatisfied with Lin Pingzhi?" This role?”
Oh, this person's imagination is really rich, but seeing as she is both Teacher Li and yours, Li Tang answered her question.
"I left because there was no role for me in the early stages of filming, and I happened to be busy, so I asked for leave from the crew. As for the second question you asked, it may be due to your imagination. I would like to solemnly clarify here, The role I auditioned from the very beginning was Lin Pingzhi, and I also participated in a 20-day martial arts training and script reading meeting before filming started, and I was never dissatisfied with the character from beginning to end."
As soon as he finished speaking, another reporter asked: "Mr. Li, during the time you left the crew, some media photographed you appearing on the filming set of "Li Wei as an Official" in Suzhou, and you were intimate with Fan Binbin. I I would like to ask if you and Fan Binbin have officially established a relationship?"
To be honest, the reporters continued to ask questions that had nothing to do with "A Very Summer", which already made Senior Lu's face look ugly. If it weren't for Li Tang's sake, he would have choked out.
Li Tang patiently replied: "Xu Zheng, the male lead in "Li Wei is an Official", is from the same company as me, and he is also my senior brother. We have a very good relationship. As for Fan Binbin, it is known that we have collaborated on two movies He is also a very good friend, so I stopped by to visit the class, which is a normal thing."
At this point, he saw many reporters raising their hands to ask questions, so he had to use diplomatic language and said: "I need to remind everyone that this is a viewing and exchange meeting for the movie "A Very Summer", not for me, Li Tang." At the press conference, I hope everyone will stop asking questions that have nothing to do with the movie. This is respect for the movie and respect for all film creators. Okay, thank you everyone!"
It should be said that Li Tang's answer was polite and courteous, and he had already answered three unrelated questions on this occasion, which was considered quite sincere.
Fortunately, the threshold for reporters is relatively high these days. Everyone is a decent person and is unlikely to do something disgraceful. Although the reporters felt very sorry, they still stopped and refocused on the movie itself.
Hundreds of college students who were watching the movie also asked questions to the creators on stage. Originally, Li Tang was not the protagonist of this exchange meeting, but the reporters' questions about him just now aroused the interest of many college students in the scene. What's more, Li Tang's performance in the movie itself is quite outstanding.
A college student asked him if it were you, not Lei Haiyang in the movie, and you encountered a girl being raped, would you stand up?
After Li Tang pondered for a moment, he replied: "I think I should stand up..."
Before he could finish his words, there were boos on the scene. It seems that college students nowadays are still very thoughtful and will not be coerced by the so-called "justice". After all, it was in the wilderness, and the other party was two people. A strong gangster could cost two lives. Everyone felt that Lei Haiyang's response was the most appropriate for normal people. Protect yourself first, then call the police to help the police bring the criminal to justice.
This is also the most important reason for the popularity of this movie. It is not blindly preachy, does not praise the police, does not brag about justice, and tells a good story from the perspective of a normal person.
But now Li Tang's answer is a bit fake and empty. No wonder the students booed.
Li Tang didn't mind. He held the microphone and waited patiently for the boos to subside. Then he smiled and said, "I said I would stand up because I was sure. The two gangsters in the movie should not be me. I am confident enough to subdue these two opponents."
Immediately, a classmate asked out of curiosity: "So you really know how to do martial arts?"
Li Tang nodded without humility and said: "I have learned Sanda and some Chinese martial arts, and I am also Linghu Chong. I am very powerful. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with two or three gangsters."
There was a burst of laughter.
Li Tang then did not forget to remind: "Students, what I mean when I say this is that whether you are doing things or saving people, you must be within your own capabilities and do what you can."
As the exchange meeting progressed, the college students present gradually shifted from the macro narrative to the interpretation of the details of the film, such as Li Tang’s fingernails full of black fingers as a car repairman, Ma Xiaoqin’s wig, and Lao Ge’s broken car. car door, and even talked about Yongmei’s armpit hair, thinking it was the director’s strong stylized expression.
…
"Ah, when did you come back?"
Xiaopang, who returned to the courtyard after finishing work, was particularly surprised to see Li Tang at home.
"I came back last night and had a dinner with some friends. In the afternoon, I attended a film exchange meeting with Director Lu and Sister Xiaoqin at Beijing Normal University. I just got home."
Li Tang did not lie, but selectively told the truth, because experience told him that telling a lie often requires countless lies to cover up, and it is easy for loopholes to appear, and he will lose trust over time.
Fan Xiaopang instinctively thought that Li Tang was having dinner with Senior Lu, Xiaoqin and others, and complained: "Then why don't you call me in advance, I will pick you up!"
Li Tang said with a smile: "I don't want to give you a surprise!"
These words touched Xiaopang's heart. She was very fond of so-called surprises and romance when she was in love. He also said happily: "The weather was good two days ago, so I just asked the hourly worker to change your quilt cover and sheets, and the quilt was also changed to a thin one. Hey, by the way, how many days can you stay this time?"
"It's just two days. After attending the closing ceremony tomorrow night, I have to return to the set the day after tomorrow."
"Two days?"
Xiaopang felt a little regretful, but it was better than nothing, and immediately said: "Then let's go out to eat tonight. I hope you can win the prize tomorrow."
Xiaopang is still very young and doesn’t know much about the various “rules” regarding awards in today’s industry.
Of course, Li Tang would not expose her current childish fantasy and said with a smile: "No need to go out. I ordered a few dishes from Lao Cai's place and Gangzi will deliver them in a moment."
We haven’t seen each other for a month, so it’s a reunion after a long absence, and Xiaoyi’s warmth is indispensable. I have to say that Xiaopang’s hand feels really good, and the contrast is so obvious.
But how to say, different types always have different types of taste.
Several crisp doorbells broke the spring atmosphere in the house. The red-faced little fat man quickly pulled the dishonest hand out of his clothes, hurriedly tidied his messy clothes, and rolled his eyes at him. , then ran out and opened the door.
"Uncle, Sister Bingbing, the food is here!"
Xiaoyue is now a frequent visitor, and has long since lost the restraints he once had. He carried the food box with small steps and took it directly to the restaurant in the east wing without asking.
Li Tang specially ordered a few hard dishes today, braised prawns, marinated fish fillets, stir-fried kidneys, yes, this is a must, as well as soy sauce beef, plain chicken and a vegetable salad.
