"In addition, it is best to read the script a week in advance." Li Tang reminded again.
There was no problem on his side, and Xu Guangtou and Jiang Qinqin were not worried either. The only thing he was worried about was Fan Xiaopang's ability to deliver lines.
"Yeah, but the actor's schedule..."
"It's okay, as long as you confirm the date, I will make arrangements for Fan Binbin."
Although I had a contract with Fan Binbin before, it was based on making money from the movie. If I lost money, I would have no choice but to go to whoring for nothing.
Sometimes this person is really not mentioned. When the two of them happened to talk about Fan Binbin, Li Tang's cell phone rang, and the name displayed on it was Xiaopang's name.
"Hello……"
"Why didn't you tell me when you came to the capital? I came back the day before yesterday." Xiaopang said angrily on the phone.
"Aren't you afraid of delaying your work? Originally, I thought things would go quickly, but it ended up being delayed for a few days. You know, the crew is busy with preparations now, and I was also in a hurry, so I simply didn't call you. "
Hearing Li Tang's words, Cheng Er couldn't help but twitch his lips. It was indeed a man's mouth, a liar. I'm bragging that I don't even draft a draft. The crew is very busy here, but Brother Li, you don't seem to be busy.
The fat guy on the other end of the phone softened his tone slightly, but still complained: "Even if we don't meet, there's still no time for a phone call."
"Oh, I'm so busy, I'm sorry! Are you almost done with your work? You still need to read the script before starting the filming."
The topic was successfully changed. Xiaopang was silent for a moment and said, "It may take about a week. Anyway, I will seize the time and fly over as soon as I finish my work."
"Okay, I'll wait for you! I'm discussing things with Director Cheng, so I won't talk to you anymore. Bye!"
"Well, you should also pay more attention to your health, bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Tang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Previously, it was because Xiaopang was filming a commercial out of town that he dared to sleep with his ex-girlfriend in a small courtyard. Fortunately, Xiaopang didn't go directly to the courtyard when he came back the day before yesterday, otherwise he would have crashed.
It seems that when I have more money in the future, I will have to buy more apartments in the capital. And investing in real estate seems to be the best way to manage money these days.
Although Cheng Er was sitting opposite, Li Tang didn't feel embarrassed at all. After hanging up the phone, he smiled at him and said, "Let's continue chatting."
On the contrary, Cheng Er was quite unnatural and opened his mouth. For a long time, he didn't remember what he had just talked about.
…
The news from Director Zhang came very quickly. On the sixth day after Li Tang's interview, which was also the third day after he returned to Shanghai, Zeng Jia received a call from the crew of "Hero" and confirmed Li Tang's role.
Not surprisingly, the character is Chang Kong.
Zeng Jia flew to Beijing to negotiate with the crew the same day after receiving the call.
After "The Swordsman" was broadcast, Li Tang's salary naturally increased. Now the external quotation for the movie is 800,000, and the TV series is 25,000 per episode, which is more than double what it was before.
The result of the negotiation was equally exciting. Originally, the other party's offer was only 300,000 yuan, but Zeng Jia suddenly negotiated a price of 600,000 yuan, which doubled the price. You must know that this is a movie directed by Zhang Yimou, and there are many actors who would rather pay for it than rush to be in it. But Zeng Jia's reason is simple. Since you have taken a fancy to Li Tang, you must give Teacher Li Tang the minimum respect. Finally, with Director Zhang's approval, the contract was successfully signed.
Zeng Jia brought back not only the contract, the advance payment of 180,000 yuan, but also the script.
The script is not a complete script, only the part where he plays the role of Chang Kong. It is actually very simple, only two pages, and there is even less dialogue. However, there is a synopsis of the story in front of me, and there is quite a lot of introduction to the historical background of the entire story, including the characters. Let him fully understand the character of Changkong.
In the late Warring States period, wars were raging and heroes rose up. Among the seven great heroes, only Qin was the dominant one. In order to unify the world, King Qin launched a crusade against Zhao and other six kingdoms.
The ambition of King Qin aroused strong dissatisfaction among the knights of various vassal states, and they all waited for opportunities to assassinate King Qin. Zhao's assassin Changkong, and the couple's assassins Can Jian and Feixue are the most feared by the King of Qin.
The King of Qin issued an order: Anyone who can capture the assassin Changkong can approach the King of Qin twenty steps; anyone who kills Can Jian and Feixue can approach the King of Qin ten steps and be given an official title and silk ribbons.
Wuming, a knight of the Qin Kingdom, defeated three major assassins in a row. He went to the palace to pay homage to the King of Qin. After ten steps, he planned to assassinate...
Chang Kong, played by Li Tang, is the fourth male lead after Wu Ming, Can Jian, and King Qin, and is good at wielding a big gun.
Li Tang's time to join the group was pushed directly to October, so there were still seven months left. But this is easy to understand. For a big production like "Heroes", all big stars are hired. The casting work is done in advance in order to coordinate the schedules of the big stars. Li Tang obviously also enjoyed the treatment of a big star this time. The only uncertainty is whether there will be a schedule conflict with "Legend of the Condor Heroes" at that time.
But thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be a big problem, because he has very few scenes in "Hero", just two fight scenes with the Seven Swordsmen of Qin Palace and Wuming, which probably won't take too long. In addition, he plays Yang Kang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Although he has not seen the script yet, according to the original work, his role is not many. At most, it is equivalent to Lin Pingzhi's role in "The Swordsman".
…
"I've already told people about your job change."
"I don't have to change jobs, which is good."
"It's too noisy there, and you're not in good health..."
“There’s really no need to change it, it’s useless anyway.”
"Why?"
"Because, because, I'm going to die..."
"Pause!"
Halfway through the lines, Xu Guangtou, who was holding the script, frowned and called out, and said to Fan Xiaopang: "Bingbing, don't be too heavy-handed here. Xiao Ke has had a brain tumor for many years, and she has long been mentally prepared for this, and She doesn't want her relatives to worry about her, and she doesn't want her relatives to see her weak side, understand? I think she should say it in a more relaxed tone."
Fan Xiaopang obviously had his own understanding. He frowned and thought for a while, then said: "But, I think..."
Before she could say what she said, Li Tang, who was sitting next to her, said impatiently: "Don't worry, I think what the boss said is very reasonable. You have to feel it from the perspective of Xiao Ke, not you." My own feelings.”
Last time Xiaopang said there was still about a week left, but actually he arrived early. Now that she's here, she doesn't take any time off, so she immediately starts a script reading session. The main lines of her character Xiao Ke focus on the dialogue between Li Tang's character He Wei and Xu Guangtou's character Lin Mo.
As a director, Cheng Er was still very immature in directing performances, so Baldy Xu volunteered to take on this responsibility. Cheng Er mostly sat aside and listened, and did not express opinions easily.
But when Fan Xiaopang opened his mouth, it was obvious that he had a lot of problems. The dialogue between Xiao Ke and Lin Mo in the script has an obvious dramatic accent, which Baldy Xu can naturally handle easily. But for Fan Xiaopang, the more dramatic the lines, the more it reveals her poor dialogue skills. Weaknesses and stumbling, the two of them are not in the same rhythm at all.
Li Tang couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only put down the lines between her and Xu Guangtou first, and he and Xiaopang would read the lines first. On the one hand, he wanted her to relax, and on the other hand, he wanted to give her a chance to adapt and exercise. process. Let Xu Guangtou, as a line teacher, promptly point out her problems and how to improve them.
But Fan Xiaopang is still not humble. He insists on arguing even though he is not aware of his own problem.
In fact, her so-called understanding is very superficial. For example, in the dialogue between her and Li Tang just now, she only expressed it through her own understanding of Xiao Ke's lines. To put it bluntly, her understanding of the characters was superficial, and she was quite content.
Maybe Li Tang's words were a bit harsh, but Xiaopang sat there angrily and stopped talking. Li Tang was angry when he saw her like this. To be honest, he regretted finding her to play the role of Xiao Ke at this moment. He originally thought that it would be okay to train her, but he didn't know that she was so unbearable.
Second update! I didn’t eat dinner and I was very hungry. That’s all for the second update. I will code more tomorrow and make up for it.
