"Oh, by the way, Yu Ling, how many people are there approximately?"
Li Tang suddenly remembered that the visiting team couldn't be empty-handed. Sure enough, it was because of drinking that he forgot about it on the way here.
"About fifty or sixty people."
Jia Yuling, who was his assistant after all, said hurriedly: "Brother, there is a KFC at the door. A large cup of coffee costs seven yuan."
"Okay, then you and Master Shen can buy six, uh, seventy cups together, in case it's not enough."
With that said, he took out five Mao Zedong cards from his pocket and handed them to Xiao Jia.
At this moment, I suddenly heard an uncertain voice: "Senior Brother Li Tang?"
Li Tang looked up and saw a young man wearing a camel down sweater looking at him. When his eyes met, he revealed a bright smile: "Brother, it is indeed you! I was afraid of admitting the wrong person just now."
The guy was quite handsome, honest and a little rustic. He looked a bit familiar, but I didn't think of him for a moment.
"Who are you……"
But Jia Yuling, who had not yet left, shouted to the handsome boy: "Teacher Tong!"
Then he hurriedly introduced to Li Tang: "Brother, this is Teacher Tong Dawei, the number one male in our crew. Teacher Tong also graduated from the theater."
"Oh, hello, Teacher Tong!"
Only then did Li Tang suddenly realize that it turned out to be the related account introduced by the investor mentioned by Xiaopang.
Tong Dawei hurriedly bowed and waved his hands and said: "Hey, senior brother, don't, don't ever call me that. I don't dare to call me that. I really don't dare to call it that. I am a grade 97 student in the Department of Acting, and I just graduated this year. Just call me Dawei."
"As expected, he is his younger brother... Yes, I remembered that you played the emperor in "Shao Bao Er"."
No wonder he looked familiar, otherwise he was from the class of 1997, and he graduated in 1997, so there would be no chance of meeting him.
"That's right! When we were filming "Young Master II", I often heard Senior Sister Bingbing mention you..."
Halfway through the conversation, Tong Dawei suddenly realized that the senior sister Bingbing he was talking about was the ex-girlfriend of the person in front of him. He quickly changed the topic and said: "Brother, are you here to see Xiao Fan?"
Hey, both of them are ice-cold!
Li Tang smiled and said: "Yes, I happened to be passing by and stopped by to take a look. I don't want Xiao Jia to buy a few cups of coffee, otherwise I would be embarrassed to be empty-handed."
Only then did Tong Dawei pay attention to the cheerful girl who just called him Teacher Tong: "You are the one who played the cleaner, right?"
"Yes, Teacher Tong! My name is Jia Yuling, please take care of me!" Jia Yuling bowed hurriedly.
Li Tang also said at this time: "Xiao Jia is a student of China National Opera, and he used to be my temporary assistant on the set of "Swordsman"."
"It turns out he is from a Chinese opera!"
Tong Dawei didn't dare to look down on this little actor.
"Those from junior college classes are not comparable to you or my brother." Jia Yuling said hurriedly, and then added: "Brother, Teacher Tong, you guys talk, I'm going to buy coffee first."
"Well, go and come back quickly!"
"okay!"
Jia Yuling trotted onto the commercial vehicle that was already parked in the parking space.
Only then did Li Tang notice that the Grand Cherokee next to him was probably Tong Dawei, and he couldn't help but said, "Is this car yours?"
"Uh, yes." Tong Dawei looked a little unnatural.
Li Tang noticed the strange look on Tong Dawei's expression.
Yes, a fresh graduate can drive this kind of car, either because his family is wealthy or it was a gift from Sugar Daddy. Considering the rumors I heard from Xiaopang before, it is probably the latter.
He could only pretend to be calm, then changed the subject and said, "You must be an actor in Huayi Brothers too, right?"
Tong Dawei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly: "That's right, I signed a contract with Sister Hua when I was a sophomore."
Being spotted by Sister Hua in his sophomore year shows that his abilities are quite good. As for Sugar Daddy, I can only say that with the support of noble people, he can take shortcuts.
The Taekwondo gym on the third floor is very lively. Many extras in training uniforms are rehearsing their moves under the command of the assistant director. The staff are busy making preparations for the start of filming.
Li Tang, who followed Tong Dawei in, saw at a glance the fat man in a white shirt taking his seat.
"Hey, Bingbing, move a little to the left."
An unshaven lantern master was directing.
Xiaopang took a small step to the left and looked at the camera: "Is it too close?"
"It's not close. I'll add a reflector to the side of your face later. It will definitely make the photo more beautiful."
Obviously, the lamp master is also supporting the female lead and speaks very nicely.
But Xiaopang was still a little worried, so he asked the lighting assistant to place the reflector, and called his assistant to stand in his position. Then he ran to the camera's viewfinder and took a look, and then nodded with satisfaction. He gave a thumbs up to Mr. Deng.
The unshaven lantern master said with an arrogant look on his face: "I told you that this is effective, but you don't believe it!"
"Okay, I'll treat you to some coffee later."
It can be seen that Xiaopang has integrated well into the crew.
However, Li Tang was not surprised. With her emotional intelligence, she would be able to get along well with any crew.
Although it may seem like the director is the most important member of a crew, makeup, lighting, and photography are also very important. Can the actor present a good state? How can I get the best shot?
Especially when filming a TV series, due to the heavy workload, the director sometimes cannot take into account all aspects, which requires the coordination of various departments such as makeup, costumes, lighting, and photography, all of which are indispensable. If the makeup is neglected, the lighting is less, and the camera is a little off, the shot may be overshot, but the damage to the actors will be considerable.
Of course, it's also a scene with an opponent. If the lighting, photography, etc. are slightly biased towards you when filming, then you will naturally stand out more in comparison.
Seeing that she was busy, Li Tang didn't dare to disturb her. Fortunately, Tong Dawei was very good at taking matters into his own hands and walked over with a fat man in his forties.
This middle-aged fat man, who was less than 1.6 meters tall and had a horizontal growth, was walking with short legs. He stretched out his hands from a distance and said enthusiastically: "Teacher Li, hello, hello, welcome to guide me."
No need to ask that this must be Ding Xiaohei, the director of "Jade Guanyin". Li Tang got the affirmative answer from Tong Dawei's eyes. He quickly stepped forward, held his thick and short hand, and laughed repeatedly: "I don't dare , I don’t dare, Director Ding, I’m just here to learn.”
The movement here alerted Xiaopang who was walking around, and he saw her running over in a hurry. She rushed to him and asked in surprise: "You came alone? Have you seen Ling'er?"
"She went to buy coffee, and Dawei and I came up together."
Xiaopang raised his eyes and looked at Tong Dawei and said hurriedly: "Big Viagra, thank you!"
Tong Dawei smiled and said: "Thank you for anything, don't forget, that's my senior brother!"
While the two were talking, Li Tang smiled at Ding Xiaohei again: "Director Ding, excuse me!"
"It's okay, the filming hasn't started yet. It's Xiao Fan who came early. She's talented and very willing to work hard. She doesn't do everything herself. She never neglects many details."
Since Tong Dawei was also there, Ding Xiaohei couldn't praise Fatty too much, but it could be seen that he was still very satisfied with Fatty.
The most important thing to do in the circle is to be discerning, and Ding Xiaohei is no exception. After a few pleasantries with Li Tang, he said wisely: "Then you guys chat, I just have to discuss it with Dawei." play."
After Ding Xiaohei and Tong Dawei left, Xiaopang quickly pulled Li Tang to sit down and said impatiently: "How much did you drink at noon? It smells like alcohol."
Li Tang could only smile bitterly and said: "The leaders at 798 are too enthusiastic and there is nothing we can do about it."
"Is the contract signed?"
"Well, according to the conditions negotiated before, the contract is signed for a total of fifteen years."
At this time, Li Tang took a good look at the little fat girl in front of him. He saw that she was wearing no makeup and her already long hair was tied into a ponytail. Not to mention that the effect of weight loss is quite obvious, and with the white shirt on his body, he really looks a bit like a white flower. Otherwise, she already has a big frame, and if she had more meat, she might look a little stronger.
"Just wear this. Is it cold?"
After all, it was winter, and it was minus five or six degrees outside. Although there was heating in the museum, the space was large, and Li Tang didn't feel hot even wearing a leather jacket.
"It's not cold. When I have nothing to do, I still practice Taekwondo with the students here."
Xiaopang shook his head and said with a proud look on his face: "The Korean coach here said that my current level has almost reached the red and black belt."
The red and black belt is the rank next to the black belt. It is probably the stick coach here who flatters her and makes her happy. With her thin arms and legs, Li Tang could easily hold her with one hand.
These two days of filming indoor scenes were heated, and compared to the previous few days where we had outdoor scenes and went out early and came back late, it was relatively relaxed. Xiaopang happily chatted with him about some anecdotes about filming. For example, the second female lead in the play actually passed the Nortel exam with her, but they passed the exam and she didn't even pass the preliminary exam.
When talking about this topic, Xiaopang inevitably feels a little inferior.
In fact, this is understandable. Xiaopang had just graduated from Xie Jin Art School and was still very immature. Besides, she had no background and it didn't matter at that time. No matter how beautiful she was, it was all in vain.
"It's okay. Look, even an undergraduate from the Nortel Performance Department can still help you!" Li Tang patted her hand and consoled her.
"Jade Goddess of Mercy" is a major female lead drama centered around the character of An Xin. The so-called second female lead may only have a quarter of her role, but is not that high. To put it bluntly, she is a supporting role.
While they were chatting, Jia Yuling and her driver Shen Lin walked in carrying two plastic bags, followed by a KFC staff member.
Xiao Jia was very smart and did not make any noise. Instead, he first ran to the life producer to ask for instructions, and then the life producer loudly announced: "Attention, attention, Teacher Li Tang is here to visit the class." , brought hot coffee to everyone, everyone has it, and each group sent a representative to come and get it, so don’t make a mess!”
"Whoa!"
"Thank you, Teacher Li Tang!"
When Li Tang came in, everyone saw it, but because of his poor status, they rashly approached him. At this time, the busy staff suddenly burst into cheers. A cup of hot coffee in the winter is so heart-warming!
Li Tang was worried that his stay would affect Xiaopang's condition, so he didn't stay long. He said hello to Ding Xiaohei, Tong Dawei, and the second female lead who had taken the art exam with Xiaopang before leaving.
In fact, he came to visit the class this time just to let Xiaopang show off, and at the same time, he also confirmed the scandal between the two from the side.
How should I put it? He understood Xiaopang's little thoughts. Since the two of them had been well together for so long, they had to cooperate.
…
The most indispensable thing in the capital is the so-called private clubs. After all, this is the capital, and there are many government offices.
The business car was parked at the entrance of a private club next to Chaoyang Park. Because no outsiders were entertained, the entrance was quite deserted.
"You call me in an hour and tell me there's something you need to deal with."
Before getting off the bus, Li Tang gave instructions to the driver Shen Lin.
"I understand, Teacher Li."
As a driver, he hopes his boss can go home early so that he can get off work early.
This time he came to the capital, he had been invited to gatherings like this several times. He had participated several times before, but to be honest, he was really not interested.
Maybe because of the capital city, people here generally worship power. They often ask, "Do you know who he is?" Then they will lead out a certain big shot, and then contact this person in a roundabout way. The person speaking has a sense of superiority, as if he has a lot of power. secrets.
There was nothing we could do today. Director Xiao Teng personally called to make an appointment. This face must be given.
He got out of the car and walked straight in. The security guard at the door looked at him but didn't stop him. His face scan was successful.
Today doesn’t have much of a purpose, it’s just the Chinese New Year, so let’s get together.
As soon as you enter the door, you can hear loud music. Needless to say, there must be a group of demons dancing inside. His mental age has long passed this stage, and he is not interested in bars and dance halls, except of course KTV. It is still good to occasionally sing, dance, and show off his hands.
Walking up to the second floor, the waiter at the door opened the door, and suddenly there was the sound of metal rock music, and the lights inside were dim. Li Tang's eyes couldn't adapt for a while, and he only saw a crowd of people inside.
After getting used to it for a while, he stretched his neck to look for the figure of Director Xiao Teng. It seemed that there were quite a lot of people today. One more person was not too much for him, and one less person was not a lot for him. When people arrived, they were there. Say hello and leave early. .
At this moment, I suddenly heard a surprising voice: "Brother Li!"
Li Tang turned around and saw a girl with short hair walking towards him. He didn't see her clearly until she got closer.
"Oh, it's Yuanyuan, long time no see!"
The girl in front of him is Gao Yuanyuan, the little advertising star whom Director Xiao Teng said was interested in him, and said that if you don't have sex, I will have sex. Of course, I am now a new film star. Last year, Wang Xiaoshuai's "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" starring Wang Xiaoshuai won the Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival. With the spread of pirated discs, she won a lot of praise for her image as a beautiful and innocent high school girl.
After two years of not seeing each other, Yuanyuan has obviously changed. For example, she used to have slightly buck teeth, but now she shows a set of white and straight teeth when she grins. She has obviously had dental correction, and she looks a lot more confident.
"We haven't seen each other for more than two years." Gao Yuanyuan said with a little resentment after the surprise.
"Uh...yeah, what have you been busy with lately?"
Li Tang felt a little embarrassed, and at the same time he was a little confused. Could it be that Director Xiao Teng had not succeeded in the past two years?
There was a bit of a glitch, so I had no choice but to figure it out. After all, there was still a button left in the previous article, so it was considered a trap. But there are already three of them, is that too much?
