"Teacher Li! Teacher Li!"
Li Tang heard someone calling him in the crowd of reporters. When he looked back, he saw a reporter wearing gold-rimmed glasses and an elegant face waving desperately to him.
"Are you a Korean reporter?"
Even though it was more than half a year later, Li Tang still recognized the reporter who sneaked into the locker room to take secret photos.
"Xiao Han, Xiao Han." Han Binjiang said humbly.
Then he quickly said: "Teacher Li, can I interview you?"
"I'm afraid it's not convenient today, I'm sorry!" Li Tang pointed at the noisy scene and said helplessly.
"Then when do you have time, can I do an exclusive interview with you?"
"Well……"
Li Tang wanted to refuse, but looking at Han Binjiang's expectant eyes, he muttered: "I can't tell for a while now... In this way, I will have someone contact you when I have time."
When reporters nearby saw Li Tang stop, they also handed over the microphone: "Li Tang, please say a few words."
Upon seeing this, Li Tang took a few steps back and made a phone call gesture to Han Binjiang.
Han Binjiang originally wanted to give Li Tang a business card, but now he could only watch Li Tang walk away, feeling filled with regret. Although he had given Li Tang his business card before, he did not dare to expect that the other party would still keep his business card. He knew very well that for celebrities, a reporter's business card was the least valuable, and he might just wrap it up in the remnants of chewing gum and throw it away.
But at this time, someone asked him: "Hey, buddy, do you know Li Tang?"
Feeling unhappy, he didn't even look back and said angrily: "I don't know you!"
Now the colleague who asked the question was unhappy and asked, "Hey, what's your attitude? I'm just asking."
Han Binjiang glanced back and saw that his colleague was tall and tall. He swallowed the curse words that came to his lips, turned around and ignored them.
Of course, this was just a small episode, and the colleague was not unreasonable. Seeing that Han Binjiang had given up and remained silent, he just cursed.
Since he couldn't interview celebrities, Han Binjiang targeted the fans and readers at the scene.
He saw a girl who looked like a student in the queue and was very excited. She kept shouting Li Tang's name, so he stepped forward for an interview: "Hello, classmate, are you a fan of Li Tang's movie?"
The girl glanced at the reporter sign hanging on Han Binjiang's chest and said excitedly: "Of course, I like Li Tang very much. I have liked him since "Huanzhugege". I think he is very handsome. But I just saw him, and I feel that he is more handsome in person than on TV. Really, I feel like I have fallen in love with him at first sight."
"Yes, I like him too."
A girl next to this girl who looked very artistic also immediately responded: "I didn't pay much attention to him when I first watched "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 2", until I watched "Suzhou River" and discovered him. The character Ma Da is so handsome and cool, he is absolutely charming, and Zhou Xun is not worthy of him at all. Today we are both here for Li Tang, and the Linghu Chong he plays must be the most handsome and dashing Linghu Chong."
"Thank you both for accepting my interview."
Han Binjiang interviewed several young female fans one after another and found that they were all fans of Li Tang. The reason was one word - handsome!
As for Li Tang, after simply accepting questions from several reporters arranged by the organizer, the on-site autograph signing began.
In fact, he signed two hundred copies yesterday, and they were sold out immediately. He, Xu Qing and others were there mainly to build momentum, and the actual on-site signing only took an hour.
Many moviegoers at the scene had been waiting in line for several hours. In addition to young girls and boys, there were also elderly aunties. One of the mothers also told Li Tang that she came specifically to ask for an autograph for her daughter, who was about to take the college entrance examination, and hoped that Li Tang could write a few words of encouragement for her daughter.
To be honest, Li Tang was a little embarrassed at the time. It was because his calligraphy was a bit unimpressive and he was just perfecting his fancy signatures.
But he was a soft-hearted person, and he hated to see other people's expectant eyes. He had no choice but to ask the mother for her daughter's name, and then wrote on the title page: Study hard and make progress every day! I wish a certain classmate will be admitted to the university of his choice.
In fact, at first he wanted to write a few encouraging sayings in English so that his poor handwriting would not have to be exposed, but after thinking about it, he inevitably seemed to be a pretentious person, so forget it, just be ugly, you have to show off your ugliness. .
…
"I definitely can't leave, so you can go alone."
Li Tang looked helpless at Cheng Er sitting in front of him. He had to come to the capital in person even though a matter could be solved with just a phone call.
Naian was still very reliable. Even though he had just given birth to a child, he still helped them contact the person in charge of the HBF Fund of the Rotterdam International Film Festival. Last year, Lou Ye's "Suzhou River" won the Golden Tiger Award, and the other party also welcomed emerging filmmakers from the same Chinese production company to participate in the competition.
The Rotterdam International Film Festival opens around January 20 every year, and the first application for the HBF Fund also opens at the same time. For emerging directors like Cheng Er, the Rotterdam International Film Festival, known as "the most important stage for emerging directors in the world," is simply a holy place.
Originally, it was not impossible for Li Tang to accompany him once, but this year was particularly unlucky. January 23rd was New Year's Eve, and the work at hand was already scheduled for January 20th, so there was no way he could get away.
When Cheng Er heard this, his face was filled with regret. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
Li Tang knew what he was worried about, so he could only comfort him: "It's okay. This time you just go out to see the world and watch movies. Well, it doesn't matter even if you don't apply. Let's think of a solution later. Living people can't be Just hold your pee to death."
During this period, Li Tang couldn't stop doing business performances. A certain real estate project was opened, a certain shopping mall opened, and he would run over to help stand on the platform, cut ribbons, or sing a few songs, have a drink with the organizer's boss, and chat. Got it for 100,000 yuan. Think about it, last month he only had a salary of 20,000 yuan for filming a movie in Yulin for more than a month, but now he can get a few 20,000 yuan in less than half a day. No wonder everyone wants to be a star, the money is so good.
Moreover, Zeng Jia has recently helped him take on several commercial performances. According to rough calculations, he can earn at least two million during this period, which he would have never dared to imagine in the past.
Are you rich? Of course you are rich. He considered that if Cheng Er didn't apply for funding from the fund this time when he went to Rotterdam, and there was nothing good that Nair could do, he and Cheng Er might as well just work together and invest on their own.
On the one hand, he really wanted to play the role of He Wei, but on the other hand, he also wanted to take a risk. Think about it, whether it is Lou Ye's "Suzhou River" or Chief Jia's "Xiao Wu" two years ago, they all made a lot of money because of their blockbuster success in foreign film festivals.
Of course, he also knew that the chance of this was very small, and he couldn't just watch the thieves eating meat without seeing the thieves being beaten. Except for famous directors like Lou Ye and Chief Jia, most directors who had the same dreams as them ended up losing money. The vast majority still have no one to pay for, or even go bankrupt.
To put it bluntly, the chances of making a profit from a movie these days may be even smaller than the chance of winning from baccarat in a Macau casino.
But now that he has this capital, even if he loses money, he can still make it back. But the role is gone, and his past life experience tells him that he may regret it for the rest of his life.
Zeng Jia, who was sitting aside and listening with her ears pricked up, heard Li Tang's words and glanced at him in surprise, but didn't say much. It wasn't until Li Tang got up to see Cheng Er off that she hesitated and asked: " Brother Li, are you so optimistic about Director Cheng?"
After this period of close cooperation, Li Tang has greatly changed his view of his executive agent. It is impossible for a person to always have a prejudice against another person who can help you make money. Goodwill always starts to be cultivated little by little.
So when faced with Zeng Jia's question, Li Tang smiled and said, "It's not that I think highly of him, but that I want to play his role in this movie."
But then he suddenly remembered something. He took out a business card from the business card holder in his bag and handed it to Zeng Jia, saying: "You have time in the past two days. Please help me make an appointment with this Korean reporter. I promised Let him do an exclusive interview.”
Zeng Jia looked at the company name on the business card, thought for a moment and said, "Daily News, this seems to be a Tianjin newspaper, right?"
"Yeah, that's right."
After receiving Li Tang's affirmative reply, Zeng Jia said nothing more. Since Li Tang said that he had agreed, there was no need to inquire further. She just wondered why Li Tang accepted an exclusive interview with a Tianjin tabloid.
