It was bright and early, and there were many people doing morning jogging on Shanshui West Road near the hotel where the crew stayed.
"Good morning, Teacher Li!"
"morning!"
"Hey, Xiao Li, morning!"
"Good morning, Teacher You!"
Most actors these days are quite self-disciplined. For example, Teacher You Yong, who plays Ouyang Feng, is in his early forties and still maintains a good figure. Furthermore, "The Condor" is a martial arts drama, and many martial arts brothers also have the habit of morning exercises.
Li Tang passed Teacher You Yong at his own pace. He usually ran to the intersection of Shanshui West Road and Shanshui East Road, then turned back and ran exactly five kilometers back to the hotel.
After running for a while, he found a petite figure in front of him who was also running, but he was running very slowly, and his steps seemed messy and unrhythmic. He could tell at a glance that he was a beginner.
As he slowly approached the petite figure, Li Tang couldn't help but smile.
"Hey, why are you out for a run too?"
"I...why can't I go out for a run? OMG, I'm so exhausted." Zhou Xun took the opportunity to stop, panting heavily and looked up towards Li Tang, who ran to his side and was still running rhythmically on the spot.
"No, I've never seen you before, I'm just curious!" Li Tang said with a smile.
"I've gained a few pounds recently, and I want to lose some weight. Hey, doesn't that person in your family go out for a run with you?" Zhou Xun tilted his head and said.
To be honest, since Li Tang and Jiang Qinqin were revealed to be together on the set, she felt quite uncomfortable and regretted it. There are some things where you should be thick-skinned and take the initiative, otherwise others will take advantage of you. So what if Li Tang had a girlfriend, there would still be people who would pounce on him.
"That one from my family, don't talk nonsense, we are all friends."
"Well……"
Zhou Xun was completely speechless when he heard this extremely shameless scumbag quote, especially when he saw how serious this guy was.
After a long while, he stammered: "Li... Li Tang, I, I really... uh, really know you today."
Of course Li Tang understood what she meant. He spread his hands and said with a smile: "What's wrong? We are all friends to begin with. Besides, aren't you and your brother Jing also good friends!"
"..."
Zhou Xun was speechless again. He could only give him a fierce look, let out a sigh of depression, and then said: "There is a good wonton shop in front of you. Do you want to have breakfast together?"
"Isn't there breakfast in the hotel?"
"The wontons here are pretty good. I was wondering if you would come?"
Seeing that Sister Xiaoxun was unhappy, Li Tang could only say: "Let's go and have a taste together."
There is a residential community not far from the intersection of Shanshui East Road. The center is an old house where aborigines live. Next to this old house are several newly built commercial housing communities. It was obvious that this old house was deliberately avoided in order to save demolition costs. However, with the increase in residents in this area, this area of old houses has formed a lively market. Many old houses have broken through their walls to open shops, and there are also many restaurants and snack bars.
Zhou Xun took him to a snack bar with "Huizhou Snacks" hanging on it. The shop was not big, and because it was still early, there were not many customers, so Zhou Xun ordered two bowls of small wontons.
Li Tang saw yellow sesame cakes placed on the baking barrel at the door. The aroma was overflowing. When asked, they were called "crab shell yellow sesame cakes", which were stuffed with prunes and diced pork.
He ordered two to try, and after one bite, the skin was crispy and the filling was fragrant. He nodded sharply and said, "It's delicious."
Then he pointed to the other one in the bowl and said to Zhou Xun: "Try it too, it's really delicious."
Zhou Xun sniffed, obviously smelling the fragrance, but when she saw the yellow puff pastry, it must be greasy. She was losing weight, so she made great determination and shook her head: "I won't eat it. A small bowl of wontons is enough.”
The small wontons were served quickly, with chopped green onions and the fragrance of lard. Moreover, the small wontons here are different from the small wrinkled wontons in Shanghai that Li Tang usually eats. Instead, they are small wontons that look like small ingots, or It's basically a mini version of wontons.
"Have a try." Zhou Xun said with a smile.
Seeing her showing off, Li Tang curiously scooped one up, blew on the hot air, and ate it into his mouth. At first, the taste was no different from ordinary wontons, but when he bit into it, he actually had the fragrance of tofu, which was fresh and fresh. The pork fillings are mixed together and the taste is very unique.
"Is it stuffed with tofu?" Li Tang asked in surprise.
This was the first time he had wontons stuffed with tofu, and they tasted particularly good.
"Yes, is it delicious?"
"Yeah, delicious!"
"That's why I brought you here to try it." Zhou Xun shook his head and smiled.
Li Tang kept talking while talking.
However, the entrance to this Huizhou snack bar is not very good. It is not on the roadside, but almost at the end of the small street. The location is quite hidden.
"Hey, how did you find this store? Why didn't you share it earlier?"
"I was also the one who brought me here last time...well, he brought me here every time."
No need to ask, the person Zhou Xun mentioned must be her brother Jing.
Li Tang didn't pay attention to brother Jing. How should I put it? Everyone's butts were dirty, and the eldest brother didn't talk about the second brother. But when he heard the word "package", his heart suddenly moved. He raised his head and shouted: "Boss, pack another small wonton, plus two crab shell yellow sesame cakes... Oh, add more spicy food to the wontons!"
"Okay!"
Zhou Xun took a spoon to scoop out the wontons in the bowl, and glanced at Li Tang and said, "I can't tell, but you are quite considerate of your sister Nianci."
Sister Nianci was probably a counterattack against Brother Jing, who Li Tang had teased her about just now.
"We have something delicious to share." Li Tang said generously.
Zhou Xun hesitated for a while and asked tentatively: "Then...then what happened to you and Fan Binbin? Did you break up?"
"Tsk, I told you, we are all friends!"
He especially emphasized the word "friend". Yes, they are all friends, friends who can sleep together.
"cut……"
Zhou Xun snorted and wanted to fight back, but was unable to speak.
You must know that her brother Jing also has a girlfriend.
At this time, she felt very disdainful of Li Tang's behavior, and at the same time she felt sour and even had a hint of regret. In fact, she didn't fall in love with the silly brother Jing at first. Maybe she was too involved in the drama, which was her old problem; on the other hand, it was also because of his persistence, asking her for help, and feeling empty and cold when she was lonely. When they were together, they felt very comfortable being licked, so they naturally came together.
How to put it, since you can't get the best, at least it's good to have a licking dog by your side.
But now she regrets it, or she has already regretted it the moment she saw sister Nianci and him being together. But you can't tell Li Tang at this time: I also want to be your friend, the kind who sleeps together.
She could only say in a mocking tone: "I didn't expect that you have a wide range of friends."
"Just so so, each other." Li Tang replied to her with a smile.
From the earliest boyfriend in school to Dou Wei's cousin, he later became involved with Pu Shu in the short and tight film "When the Flowers Bloom", and then even the young model who had just grown up was not spared, and now he is with Jing When our brothers are together, we have a wide range of friends, right? Li Tang felt that he was nothing compared to her.
"you……"
Zhou Xun was furious for a while.
Li Tang didn't care. Just as the boss brought over the packaged wontons and sesame cakes, he wiped his mouth with a tissue and urged, "Have you finished eating? Let's go. Oh, I didn't bring any money. You treat me!"
Zhou Xun didn't finish eating, but she still stood up, threw down the fifty yuan, and said directly: "No need to look for it." Bianli ignored Li Tang and left angrily.
Li Tang looked at her back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was not a fool. He knew that Zhou Xun was interested in him from the day "Suzhou River" was finished. He originally thought that Zhou Xun would not come out for a while, but it took a long time. That was fine, but the next two hints gave him a headache. On the one hand, although the other party has a wide range of friends, he does not want to become one of the other party's ex-boyfriends. More importantly, he only cares about appearance, and the other party is not his cup at all.
The snack bar owner watched the two people leaving with a fifty-dollar bill, laughing. Three bowls of wontons and four sesame seed cakes cost at most 20 yuan. After all, a big star is generous.
At this time, the landlady also ran out and said excitedly to the boss: "Are these two Zhou Xun and Linghu Chong just now?"
Well, in terms of popularity, Li Tang is worse than Zhou Xun. The people remember him more as Linghu Chong, especially when "The Swordsman" was filmed here.
"That's right, it's them. Look, you don't have to change the fifty yuan." The boss happily showed off while holding the fifty-dollar bill.
The landlady easily grabbed the fifty-dollar bill and said regretfully, "I looked just like them. Oh, why didn't you think of taking a photo with them and hanging it in the store?" It’s also good for advertising.”
The boss watched helplessly as fifty yuan was confiscated by his mother-in-law, and cursed in his mind that he was too arrogant, otherwise he could still hide thirty yuan of private money.
But after hearing what the mother-in-law said, she still couldn't help but said disdainfully: "What do you know? Celebrities come to our store just to be quiet. If you clamor for autographs and photos, they will be annoyed to death. We won't do it next time." Here we are. Now we just want to spread word of mouth, pretend we don’t know them, and try not to disturb them, so that they can come again next time. Maybe more and more stars will come to visit our store in the future. "
The landlady's eyes were full of stars when she heard this, and she nodded repeatedly: "Well, what you said makes sense."
As he said that, he took out ten dollars from his apron pocket and handed it over: "This is a reward for you!"
Although he lost thirty yuan, ten yuan was still a lot. The boss's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly took it over, fearing that the mother-in-law would regret it.
…
It was almost two kilometers away from the hotel. Her short legs couldn't walk fast, so Li Tang could only follow her leisurely. It took half an hour of walking to reach the hotel.
They entered the elevator together. Zhou Xun lived on a floor lower than him. When he saw the other person walking out of the elevator, Li Tang picked up the things he packed and shook them towards her. He smiled and said, "Thank you!"
Zhou Xun saw this scene out of the corner of her eyes, and she smiled as soon as she turned around after stepping out of the elevator.
The original excitement along the way had already calmed down.
how to say? In one word, it can only be attributed to lack of fate.
We are all adults and some things are easy to figure out. If there might have been hope when filming "Suzhou River", then maybe, maybe, definitely now...
But there are no ifs in life. When she heard the playful thank you from behind, she felt relieved, just think of it as a beautiful memory.
When she was about to reach the door of the room, the door next to her opened, and Li Yapeng poked his head out. When he saw her, he immediately smiled and said thoughtfully: "You're back from running, are you tired? What would you like to eat for breakfast?" ? Or do you want wontons from that Huizhou snack? I’ll buy them for you right now!”
Looking at the attentiveness on the other person's face and hearing a series of greetings, he looked very much like that silly Brother Jing. At this time, Zhou Xun felt that it would be good to be his sister Rong.
Again, since you can't get what you want most, it's good to at least have a licking dog by your side.
So she smiled and said: "No need, I came back after eating."
…
At this time, Li Tang walked out of the elevator while carrying a bag and humming a tune. He went straight to sister Nianci's room and took out the room card to open the door.
Sister Nianci had already gotten up and was washing up in the bathroom. When she saw Li Tang coming in from the mirror, she immediately hummed: "You told me to wake up. I almost overslept after being out for so long."
It's already past 7:30 now. Normally, I start putting on makeup and changing clothes at 8:00, and arrive at the scene at 10:00, ready to start shooting at 10:30.
This is why when filming "Returning the Pearl II", Xiao Yanzi, Ziwei and Jin Suo had to get up at three or four in the morning to put on their makeup in order to save time. After all this hard work, the filming usually starts at seven or eight o'clock when we get to the scene.
"Don't worry, I bought you breakfast."
The weather is cold, and the wontons and sesame cakes have become cold during this journey. Li Tang "dinged" it with the microwave in the room.
"What did you buy?"
Jiang Qinqin walked out of the bathroom with her face turned upside down, still complaining: "I don't know how to change the breakfast in the hotel. There are always the same kind. I lose my appetite just thinking about it."
Her skin is very good, white and rosy, and she looks very pleasant. Although she is usually shy, she can't let go. But the feeling she gave Li Tang was the most comfortable and pleasant.
A small frame has a lot of meat and feels good in the hand. A chubby person has a big frame and will look fat if he puts on a little more meat. His ex-girlfriend is just annoying.
Speaking of my ex-girlfriend, it seems that she hasn't appeared for a long time. My career always comes first. She has been busy filming TV series in the past two years.
Jiang Qinqin came over and saw the steaming, red-oiled wontons. She immediately said happily: "Wow, it's a copycat!"
Well, it’s called differently in different places.
"Try it, it tastes very good." Li Tang smiled fondly.
"Um."
The temperature is controlled very precisely, just right for the taste. Jiang Qinqin couldn't wait to take a bite and said in surprise: "It tastes like tofu."
"It's my first time to eat tofu with meat filling. It's very delicious."
As he said that, Li Tang handed over another crab shell yellow sesame pancake: "This one is not bad, stuffed with prunes, vegetables and pork."
The sesame cakes were very crispy and fragrant, but Jiang Qinqin didn’t dare to eat more after one, but the wontons refused to stop.
"Hey, where did you buy it?"
"At the end of the small street above Shanshui West Road, there is a shop called Huizhou Snacks. I also met Zhou Xun during my morning run today, and she took me there."
Hearing Zhou Xun's name, Jiang Qinqin reacted lightly. The two have very different personalities. They usually only maintain a superficial politeness, and after joining the group for the second time, she clearly felt the change in Zhou Xun's attitude. But it didn't matter to her. She was not from the same world and was destined not to be friends.
She just nodded and said, "I'll ask Xiao Tang to look for it later. I'll have this for breakfast tomorrow."
As she said that, she looked up at Li Tang and asked, "By the way, when do you plan to leave?"
Li Tang muttered: "Let's see how the filming progresses. Jiajia will come over tomorrow. If everything goes well, we can finish filming tomorrow and leave tomorrow."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Qinqin pouted and said coquettishly.
Li Tang pinched her smooth cheek and said with a smile: "I can't help it, I have something serious to do!"
"Then you have decided to terminate the contract with your company?"
Li Tang spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "The contract has expired for one year, and Sister An has never mentioned this matter. I can't pretend not to know. After all, we have to sit down and have a good talk. I will also listen to what Sister An means. . Look, if Sister An... uh, if the reaction is not intense, then try it yourself first. "
When it comes to setting up his own business, compared to Zeng Jia's full confidence, Li Tang is actually not very confident. But you have to give everything a try, and given the current domestic environment, setting up your own business doesn’t seem to be a big deal.
If it doesn't work out, the most you can do is find a reliable brokerage company to sign a contract with.
