On the way to Haichao Hotel, Li Tang took the time to call Xiaopang.
Since returning from Venice, she has gone to Yunnan with the crew and is currently experiencing life at a police station in a small border town.
"I just finished trying on makeup. I invited you to dinner and I'm on my way to the restaurant."
"Old Sun? Who is it?"
"Sun Haiying, who played Tian Boguang in "Swordsman", will play Hong Qigong, the leader of the Beggar Clan this time."
"Oh, I remembered it. It was the one we met when we were eating in Wuxi last time."
"Yes, that's him. Hey, how are you doing lately? Are you adapting there?"
"It's good, but it's the rainy season here now, and it rains every day. In fact, this experience of life is quite shocking to me. The police here are really heroes." Xiaopang said with emotion on the phone. .
"Then you study hard and don't forget that life now is not easy."
Li Tang felt that it was good for Xiaopang to have such an opportunity to experience life this time, and he could also transform his spiritual world.
The driver parked the car steadily at the entrance of Haichao Hotel.
"Master Zhang, order two dishes, take a bite, and write down the account."
"No need, Teacher Li. My home is nearby. I can have a quick bite when I go back."
The driver is a resident of the island, and the crew rented many cars on the island. Although the driver spoke Mandarin with a strong accent, the dialect here is actually very close to Shanghainese, and there was no barrier to communication.
This shows that the local people are still very simple.
The local islanders were still very surprised by the arrival of the crew, and they were very excited especially to see a big star like Li Tang. The boss first asked for an autograph and a photo, and then sent him to the private room booked by Sun Haiying.
"Brother Sun, Zhou Xun will be here soon."
"Why did you call him here?"
"She may have encountered something difficult to get out of, so I can only call her over. By the way, you can tell me what you want." Li Tang sat down and was not polite to Sun Haiying.
"Uh... Actually it's not that big of a deal. I just wanted to ask you how many days off can we take to attend the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Festival?"
"Is that the reason?"
Li Tang didn't quite believe it. Could it be that he refused to tell Zhou Xun just because he called him here?
However, Li Tang didn't care what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd. He followed his words and said, "I don't care. There aren't many scenes here anyway. It depends on my mood in three or four days."
This year is the 10th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Festival. According to the custom of Chinese people, it happens to be held in Ningbo, which is very close to the 10th major celebration. It will open on October 20th and close on the 22nd, which will also be the 21st Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony.
Those who are shortlisted for the award generally participate in the whole process, because there is also a link to issue the certificates for the shortlisted winner during the opening ceremony. Yes, in the Golden Rooster Award selection, being shortlisted is also an honor, and there is a special shortlisted certificate.
Li Tang doesn't have many scenes on Peach Blossom Island, but most of Hong Qigong's scenes played by Sun Haiying are concentrated on Peach Blossom Island. When this guy heard this, he actually crossed himself on his chest and muttered: "God bless, the unit will be able to ask for leave by then."
Hey, what's going on?
Li Tang couldn't help but said in surprise: "Old Sun, are you right? You are a party member. What kind of God do you believe in?"
But Sun Haiying chuckled and said: "No, the main reason is that Ge Ling believes in this, so I believe it too."
"..."
Li Tang was really speechless, but thinking about it these days, his faith did seem to have collapsed. It's common for urban management officers to beat people on the street. It doesn't matter if you want to do something, but you can't do it. It's not surprising if you contact Sun Haiying for God's blessing.
However, Lao Sun finally made it clear about his relationship with Ge Ling today. As expected, the groundless rumors may not necessarily be unfounded.
Then I heard Sun Haiying complain: "If Teacher Zhang was on the set, it might be easier to talk, but with Director Wang Rui, it would be hard to talk..."
Halfway through what he said, he shook his head helplessly.
Looking at his appearance, Li Tang looked thoughtful.
Soon Zhou Xun and her assistant arrived.
"Teacher Sun, please excuse me for interrupting temporarily."
"No interruption, no interruption, let's have fun together." Sun Haiying said enthusiastically.
"Tony, let's eat together."
Li Tang had always had a good impression of Zhou Xun, the assistant, and asked him to sit down together.
Tony looked at the weekly news.
Until Zhou Xun said: "Sit down, there are no outsiders."
Tony then sat down, and at the same time he did not forget to say to Li Tang: "Thank you, Brother Li."
Very loyal indeed.
After sitting down, Li Tangcai asked: "What happened just now? Did you encounter a difficult reporter?"
"no……"
Zhou Xun glanced at Sun Haiying who was ordering and stopped talking.
It would be difficult for Li Tang to ask further questions.
The restaurant Sun Haiying found was good. The palm-sized monodon shrimps, plump swimming crabs, and local chicken here were also quite good. Even Zhou Xun, who usually had a small appetite, couldn't help but gorge on them.
After dinner, Li Tang sent the driver, Master Liu, who was waiting outside, to go back first, while he squeezed into Zhou Xun's car. Because it was her assistant Tony who was driving.
The meal just now relieved her unhappy mood a lot. She sat cross-legged on her seat and said, "Thank you, you helped me out today."
This time, without waiting for Li Tang to ask, she took the initiative and said, "It's Li Yapeng. At first he said he wanted to treat me to dinner. I thought he wanted to talk about acting with me, but he said something incomprehensible..."
Tony, who was driving at this time, suddenly interrupted: "You still can't tell, he obviously wants to pick you up!"
Huh?
Li Tang suddenly felt like a turtle in a melon field and asked hurriedly: "Is it true or false? Don't you know each other a long time ago?"
Zhou Xun said angrily: "It's because he has known me for a long time that I feel baffled. Besides, he has a girlfriend."
"Who is it?"
"Qu Ying!"
Of course Li Tang knew Qu Ying's name, and had met him during events. What a good guy, he was taller than him in high heels, and he felt very oppressive.
But he immediately said in surprise: "Aren't Qu Ying and Hu Bin a couple?"
Both are currently the most well-known models in the country.
"No, they are just hype. Qu Ying and Li Yapeng have been on good terms for several years, and Qu Ying and I also know each other. How embarrassing is this..."
Listening to Zhou Xun's complaints, Li Tang felt that Li Ya shed was really a weird thing. You said that Qu Ying's long legs and figure are definitely the best among women. He couldn't help but glance at Zhou Xun again. With such a shriveled little body, could it be that he was tired of eating big fish and meat and wanted to change his taste?
"You don't know, his voice is very strange and high-spirited, he looks like a Shanrui Guoguo..."
"Pfft!"
Li Tang didn't hold it in and burst out laughing. Not to mention, Zhou Xun's description had to be quite vivid. Li Yapeng's speaking voice was indeed a bit strange, as if he had a big tongue. I don’t know how he passed the line class at China National Drama.
As for Shanrui Guoguo, that is the overall memory of the generation born in the 1970s.
At that time, a Li Jiapo TV series "On the Journey" became popular all over the country. Shan Rui was one of the very unforgettable characters. Because he used to call his "brother" "Guo Guo", he was named "Shan Rui Guo Guo". At the same time, it has also become synonymous with people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai who have low IQs.
Li Tang inherited the memory of his original body and can still sing the theme song of this TV series: "I never blame my fate for my mistakes, and I am not afraid of how bumpy the journey will be..."
At this time, Li Tang started humming without knowing it, and Zhou Xun immediately followed suit: "Go to the place in your dream, and I won't regret it if I make a mistake..."
The two looked at each other and smiled during the song.
Although Zhou Xun's voice is a bit hoarse, he has a unique flavor when he sings. He deserves to be a singer in Houhai Bar Street back then. In the end, even Tony, who was driving, joined in, and the three of them sang the once brainwashed "Man on the Journey" in the car.
…
On September 30th, God finally helped me. The rain stopped in the morning, but there were still dark clouds. But in the afternoon, the long-lost sunshine finally appeared.
This made Zhang Bearded, who was originally disappointed with the weather, very excited. He immediately notified the crew and the local town government of Taohua Island to hold the opening ceremony of "The Condor".
Because it was so rushed, I was a little rushed for a while. In addition, all the actors participating in the opening ceremony wore makeup.
By the time everyone had changed into costumes and put on makeup, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Sanhua Lake, where the filming was taking place.
Many pre-prepared activities were cancelled. First, producer Zhang Dahu, chief director Wang Rui, and actor Li Yapeng took the stage to speak respectively as representatives of the actors. After that, they worshiped gods and burned incense. Finally, the red hijab of the camera was unveiled and the official announcement was made. "The Condor Shooting" starts.
Speaking on stage is nothing more than a routine. Everyone expresses their determination to make "The Condor" a success.
Even Lao Zhang, who usually likes long speeches, only said a few words, but when it was Li Yapeng's turn, after expressing his determination, the guy changed the topic and turned his attention to Zhou Xun, who was sitting next to Li Tang, and suddenly turned to the people in the audience. The reporters and the onlookers bowed deeply.
Everyone was confused for a moment, and then they heard him say in a high-spirited voice similar to Shanrui Guoguo, with an extremely sincere attitude: "Zhou Xun failed to meet everyone's request for autographs and photos on the island. On behalf of Zhou Xun, I apologize to everyone because we are here to work."
As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into silence. Fortunately, the experienced local leaders were afraid of being left out, so they immediately clapped their hands. Generally, as long as someone applauds, the islanders onlookers will naturally clap along with them, and in the end the whole place bursts into applause.
But Zhou Xun, who was sitting in the audience, was instantly furious. She was actually kept in the dark about this kind of thing. Moreover, the guy on the stage shamelessly said that he represented Zhou Xun. Why should you represent me?
Zhou Xun suddenly stood up from the chair and wanted to rush to the stage to question loudly. Fortunately, Li Tang had quick eyesight and quick hands. He quickly grabbed her and pulled her to the chair to sit down again. He looked at her and shook his head.
Just kidding, it’s the opening ceremony now. No matter how nonsense that guy Li Yapeng talks, if Zhou Xun makes such a fuss and there are so many reporters at the scene, it will not only cause great harm to "The Condor", but it will also be a public beating. Bearded face.
With Lao Zhang's narrow-minded and retaliatory character, Li Tang really couldn't bear to let Zhou Xun get hurt.
Second update!
