Then Li Tang extended his hand to the smart-looking short-haired middle-aged woman sitting next to Nai An and said hello: "Sister Hua, long time no see!"
"Oh, it's been a long time. Let me just say, this time you cooperate with Bingbing, and I'm counting on you to help take care of him." Wang Jinghua said enthusiastically, holding Li Tang's hand.
Li Tang glanced at his ex-girlfriend, smiled and said, "They are all old classmates, as it should be."
They are all people on the scene. Even if they have a lot of grievances in the past, they still have to look good on the surface.
After chatting with Sister Hua and saying hello to everyone present, Li Tang casually pulled up a chair and sat down.
Today, except for the female lead Zhang Ziyi and the little Japanese who plays Itami Hidehiko, who are not here, basically all the main creatives in front of and behind the scenes are here. Classmate Xiao Zhang is now very popular. It is said that his work is completely Hollywood style. This time, he signed a total of 60 days with the crew of "Purple Butterfly".
As for the little Japanese named Hiroshi Nakamura, he is considered a familiar face in the eyes of domestic audiences because he has starred in two Hong Kong movies, "The New Boys" and "Tokyo Raiders".
In fact, this person named Zhong can only be considered a second-tier actor in Japan, and he seems to be an idol. After Li Tang found out that he was playing the second male lead, he looked for a few discs and looked at them. It was roughly the same as those of cool handsome men like Takakura Ken and Takeshi Kaneshiro, with facial paralysis acting skills.
In fact, there are many good actors in Japan. For example, a Japanese actor he liked very much in his previous life was named Tadanobu Asano. He could act in both dramas and comedies. He was a bit like Japanese Tony Leung. I remember that he acted in a movie called "The Mongol King", in which he played the male lead Genghis Khan. There was also a big villain named Jamuhe played by a Chinese actor. Li Tang couldn't remember who this Chinese actor was until he saw Gong Li's mistress, and he suddenly realized that it was him!
In fact, compared to Japanese and Korean actors, Chinese actors are really not well-known internationally, especially male actors. The only ones who can be named are Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Tony Leung, and only a few handsome ones. Even Fa Ge, who claims to have worked in Hollywood, can only be regarded as a familiar passerby.
Today, in addition to getting to know each other and getting to know each other, the main purpose of bringing everyone together today is to listen to the creator's understanding of the script and characters.
In film creation, the director controls the direction and rhythm, the behind-the-scenes is responsible for the technology, and the actors are responsible for showing the director's intentions. But when meeting a director like Lou Ye, he doesn’t have a specific concept of the characters in his script, to put it bluntly. He will let the actors keep trying, and at the same time, he will continue to experience it, and finally choose his own The one you want.
In other words, the actor is given great freedom, but the choice is in his hands. For a real actor, this is undoubtedly a very enjoyable thing, but the disadvantage is probably that it is full of uncertainty. You can't be sure that what you prepare is what the director wants, so everyone needs to sit down and discuss this.
Although the female lead Zhang Ziyi and the little Japanese named Zhong did not come today, everyone's discussion was still quite lively. For example, Feng Yuanzheng set the leader of the resistance organization he was to play as a scholar who joined the army after the September 18th Incident. He was born in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, attended the Huangpu Military Academy, and later joined the Fuxing Society spy organization and became a lurking anti-Japanese agent in Shanghai. The leader of the group.
The reason for this setting is that scholars are more orthodox, have firm beliefs, and are more ruthless at the same time. Born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, his accent and living habits make it easier for him to lurk in Shanghai.
Ding Hui, played by Zhang Ziyi, saw her brother who ran an anti-Japanese newspaper being murdered by the Japanese in Northeast China, and then came to Shanghai and joined the resistance organization with hatred for the Japanese. Xie Ming may have been her teacher in the training class, and they later worked together in Shanghai. Fighting side by side, the two developed feelings during this period.
But after learning that Ding Hui and the new Japanese spy Itami Hidehiko were old lovers, Xie Ming did not hesitate to push Ding Hui out to perform a honey trap and use Itami Hidehiko to achieve the purpose of assassinating important figures.
In that era when the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, anything personal could be sacrificed, including one's own women and emotions.
Of course, the script is deliberately vague about this anti-Japanese resistance organization and does not specify which party it belongs to. But as far as using honey traps is concerned, it will definitely not be our party.
In fact, this is nominally an anti-Japanese story, but what Lou Ye really wants to express is the emotions of the characters. For example, Ding Hui and Itami Hidehiko were originally childhood sweethearts. Although their identities changed a few years later, the relationship between men and women is still there, and Ding Hui, who has a heavy responsibility, will still interact with Itami. Hidehiko loses himself in the entanglement. Similarly, while completing his mission, Hidehiko Itami has also been working hard to help Ding Hui get out of his current situation.
Both Ding Hui and Itami Hidehiko are caught in the conflict between personal emotions and national interests. In comparison, Xie is obviously more pure.
Li Tang plays Situ, an unlucky man who accidentally broke in. Not only did he lose his beloved girlfriend, but he also fell into chaos and was threatened by the resistance organization and Japanese intelligence agencies. And it was this unlucky guy who broke the balance between the two parties, completed the mission of the resistance organization, and became a hero.
As for the second female lead Yi Ling, who is to be played by her ex-girlfriend, she still uses the character design that Li Tang helped her create. She is a Xiaojiabiyu from a local middle-class family in Shanghai. She has an enviable job and a beloved boyfriend. . It is precisely because of this that being accidentally killed by Ding Hui at the station adds a bit of tragedy.
She spends most of her time living in the memories of Situ, played by Li Tang, and her role is to promote the plot and help Situ complete his transformation from a timid and cowardly person to a hero.
This creative discussion lasted until the afternoon. It can also be called a "script reading meeting", but today's script reading was more about discussing the personalities of the respective characters, rather than a simple line reading. Because the respective characters in the script have very few lines, and are more about descriptions of the characters' psychology. Moreover, Lou Ye also admitted at the meeting that the lines in the script are not important. Everyone can express themselves and speak as they please.
…
The ex-girlfriend glanced at the toothbrush on the bathroom sink, as well as various toiletries and cosmetics, and couldn't help but curled her lips, took out two tissues and wiped her hands while walking out and said: "She lives with you now? "
"I just stayed here for one night when I passed by last time." Li Tang, who was sitting on the sofa, said without raising his head.
He knew that his ex-girlfriend must have felt uncomfortable when she saw the chubby thing in the bathroom, but he didn't have time to clean it up. Why did his ex-girlfriend insist on coming to his place instead of staying in a nice five-star hotel? Just be honest, otherwise it will be annoying to deal with this and then that.
"cut!"
The ex-girlfriend snorted, obviously not believing it. She looked at Li Tang and said, "Don't you have a new house in Xujiahui? Why did you have to bring her here?"
In her heart, this place carries the beautiful memories of her and Li Tang's past three years. Just like an animal peeing to mark its territory, she subconsciously thinks that this place belongs to her and does not allow other women to occupy the magpie's nest.
At this time, Li Tang looked up at his ex-girlfriend, smiled slightly and said, "The house is still being renovated, otherwise where will you live in the future?"
Although it was a bit tongue-in-cheek, it was actually his true thoughts. In case there are so many people coming and going here, it is easy to crash if you are not careful.
"I don't live there. Let her live there in the future. I have lived here for three years and I have feelings for her. I can't live anywhere else!" her ex-girlfriend sat down next to her and said plausibly. .
As she said this, she glanced into the bedroom and said disdainfully: "I've been sleeping on that mattress for three years, doesn't she dislike it?"
"She doesn't have as many problems as you." Li Tang snorted.
Speaking of which, my ex-girlfriend's mysophobia seems to be getting worse and worse. Washing hands and changing shoes as soon as you enter the house are the most basic. After finishing the clothes and pants you wear outside, you have to change into clean home clothes before you can sit on the sofa. I wish I could change them every day. The sheets and quilt covers were sprayed with alcohol or disinfectant everywhere.
To be honest, if Li Tang was still living with her in her current state, he would definitely not be able to survive this life.
The ex-girlfriend was unconvinced and said: "This is called hygiene. You don't know how dirty it is outside now!"
Li Tang knew that his ex-girlfriend was completely hypocritical. When he first met, he didn't think she was very clean. Later, the two of them lived together and maybe they had their own little world. She gradually became more clean and kept her clean all day long. The house is kept spotless, but not to the point of being as clean as it is now.
But as her fame grew in the following years, her love for cleanliness gradually shifted to mysophobia. Maybe at first I wanted to show that I was different. Just like a person who tells too many lies and even believes it herself, as time goes by she starts to take it seriously, and then she becomes more and more serious.
"No matter how dirty you are, if everyone is like you, then your life will be impossible."
As he said this, Li Tang hugged his ex-girlfriend and deliberately kissed her with the same mouth he had just finished smoking. But now she even asked him to brush his teeth first even for a kiss. There was no emotion at all.
His ex-girlfriend struggled desperately at first, but Li Tang was not used to her problem. After kissing her enough, he picked her up and carried her to the bedroom, where he executed her on the spot on the sheets that had not been changed for several days. Moreover, I didn’t even take a shower before the Fa-rectification.
Although my ex-girlfriend looked disgusted and repelled at first, she enjoyed it later on! Therefore, mysophobia and the like are all problems and must be treated like this!
"Hey, have you seen my phone?"
My ex-girlfriend came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wandered in the living room for a while, and then ran to the bedroom to ask.
Li Tang, who was lying on the bed leisurely, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't see it."
"Oh, why can't I find it? I had it in my hand before... Oh, it's all your fault. I don't know where I dropped my phone after such a fuss?" the ex-girlfriend complained.
Maybe it was because the action was so intense just now that the phone flew somewhere.
"I still need to make a call to Xiuxiu, why don't you get up and help me look for her?"
The ex-girlfriend came over and was about to drag Li Tang up from the bed.
The fighting ability of his ex-girlfriend was definitely not comparable to that of Xiaopang and Jiang Qinqin. Li Tang, who was too physically exhausted, was too lazy to move. He picked up his mobile phone on the bedside table and handed it over and said: "You are stupid. Dial a number and hear the ringtone." Just found it!"
"Hey, that's right!"
It turns out that no matter how smart a woman is, there will be times when she is confused.
The ex-girlfriend quickly took the phone and dialed her number. When she entered the number, a name popped up that she didn't expect. But before she could react, she heard the phone ringing in the living room outside.
She hurriedly ran out. After a while, the ringing stopped, and her ex-girlfriend came in with her cell phone and said, "It turned out that it fell between the cracks of the sofa. No wonder I couldn't find it."
As she said that, she suddenly said: "Hey, by the way, why did you type my name into Little Prince Milk?"
Oops, I almost forgot about this.
It seemed that Li Tang himself was confused sometimes, he could only smile and said: "Guess?"
The ex-girlfriend said arrogantly: "Are you afraid that your partner will be jealous and unhappy, so you deliberately changed my name?"
"Tch, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Thinking about it, his ex-girlfriend agreed. She had known Li Tang much earlier than Xiao Fan, and she was also the only girlfriend Li Tang recognized so far. Although they had broken up, at least she was still officially certified.
Then she thought about it again, showed a shy smile and said: "Then do you think that I am the same as the prince's milk, both sour and sweet?"
"Huh? Ahem...that's right!"
First update, more!
