Xiao Jiang could sit there and pretend to eat, but at most he would give her a chance to roll his eyes at his sister-in-law. But Li Tang couldn't pretend to eat. While eating rice dumplings, he had to talk to teacher Xi Meijuan about his lines.
So after one scene, he forced himself to stuff another rice dumpling. Fortunately, this time classmate Zhang didn't stretch his crotch. The director Hou Yong finally called out after the sixth shot of this scene.
The moment he heard "passed", Xiao Jiang covered his mouth and ran out. The rice dumpling he just stuffed into his mouth made his cheeks bulge, almost like a groundhog. Li Tang stood up with difficulty, rubbing his stomach. In order to film this scene, he ate six rice dumplings.
Zhang Ziyi on the side saw this and quickly helped him, and at the same time apologized: "Teacher Li, I'm sorry for causing you trouble!"
"It's okay, oh, these rice dumplings are good, try it!" Li Tang stood still and pointed to the few remaining rice dumplings on the table.
In order to look beautiful and maintain the best condition when attending the Oscar red carpet, Xiao Zhang has started to consciously diet these days. When he saw the greasy rice dumplings on the table, he immediately rolled his eyes at him.
"Tch, the apology is not sincere at all, it comes from your mouth but doesn't come from your heart, hum!"
Li Tang shook his head arrogantly, planning to go out and do some exercise to eliminate food, otherwise he would have to accumulate food in his stomach after eating so much glutinous rice.
At this time, assistant Xiao Zhao ran over and handed over a thermos cup soaked with American ginseng: "Teacher Li, drink water!"
Then he took out a board of pills from the bag, picked out three pills and handed them over.
"What kind of medicine?"
"Jiangzhong Brand Jianweixiaoshi Tablets! They help digestion. You can chew them."
Li Tang put the pill into his mouth and chewed it. It was slightly sweet and fragrant, and the taste was similar to the Shi Mu Sheng he had eaten as a snack when he was a child.
It is said that when I was a child, as long as I had accumulated food, I could just chew two pieces to feed my mother. And the price is very cheap. It seems like a large bottle costs just a few cents. Nowadays, such cheap medicines are no longer available.
"Teacher Li, goodbye!"
"Sister Ziyi, goodbye!"
The scene in Dongshan Town on the shore of Taihu Lake in Suzhou lasted three days. Jiang Shuying, the extra who guest-starred as Zou Jie's sister, completed the filming and bid farewell to the crew. The little girl looked reluctant to leave before leaving and seemed to be very interested in acting. Especially the look he looked at Zhang Ziyi was full of envy and admiration.
The little girl's condition is actually pretty good, especially her physical condition is excellent. After all, she has practiced rhythmic gymnastics. It's just that in Li Tang's opinion, this little girl has no talent for acting, and her receptive ability is average.
For example, for the same performance, if you have high talent and strong receptive ability, you will be able to imitate it after watching it once; if you have average talent but strong receptive ability, you may be able to imitate it after watching it twice; what you are most afraid of is that you have no talent and can imitate it well. Those with poor receptivity may not be able to learn it even if you teach them seven or eight times.
The little girl Jiang Shuying is not the worst. It can only be said that she has no talent and average receptive ability. Basically, you have to teach her five or six times before she can barely pass.
After filming the scene in Dongshan Town, the crew moved non-stop to Chedun Film and Television City to continue filming. As the day of the 75th Academy Awards ceremony draws closer, Xiao Zhang also bursts out with unprecedented energy.
She is the most important character in the play. Once she is in good condition and Li Tang's cooperation complements each other, the filming progress is going very fast.
Finally, on the afternoon of March 19, after filming the scene where Li Tang, Zhang Ziyi and Cheng Chong had a meal, director Hou Yong announced: "The story of Li Tang in "Jasmine Blooms" has been completed!"
The staff who had already prepared presented flowers to the three of them, and the production director personally pushed a cake over.
Cheng Chong and Zhang Ziyi looked surprised and said, "We also have a share!"
Hou Yong smiled and said: "A story ends, of course everyone has a share!"
In fact, only Li Tang was the only one who actually finished the project today. From the start of filming on March 8th to the completion of filming on March 19th, it only took eleven days before and after, and a salary of 2.8 million was collected. To be honest, Li Tang felt a little bit sorry. He always felt that the labor he put in was not proportional to the income, and the money came in too quickly.
But think about the big stars in the so-called "20 million club" in Hollywood. It is said that they also get a share of the box office. If one movie is converted into RMB, it will cost at least several hundred million, and I feel mentally balanced in an instant.
"Xiao Li, it's a great honor to work with Nong this time. I hope to have the opportunity to work together again in the future." Before leaving, Cheng Chong held Li Tang's hand and said politely.
"Mr. Cheng, you're so polite. I also really hope to have the opportunity to work together again in the future."
On the one hand, Li Tang won Cheng Chong's respect entirely by virtue of his excellent business ability. On the other hand, everyone is from Shanghai, and it also comes from Li Tang’s family situation.
Since Li Tang became famous, his family situation is no longer a secret. His parents divorced early and his mother is a professor at an American university. These have all been discovered by reporters with great savvy.
Li Tang's mother was born a capitalist, and now she is in the United States and is a university professor. Cheng Chong suddenly found a similar feeling, and naturally he looked at Li Tang differently.
In fact, speaking of Cheng Chong, he came from a distinguished family. His parents were both from medical families. His grandfather graduated from Shanghai St. John's University School of Medicine in his early years and participated in the Northern Expedition, the Nanchang Uprising, the Anti-Japanese War, and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. After World War II, he also studied in the United States. Study medicine.
My maternal grandfather studied in the University of London in England and Harvard University in the United States in his early years, and was the founder of pharmacology in New China.
My father is a doctor and my mother is a professor at Fudan University School of Medicine. After the college entrance examination was resumed, I was admitted to Shanghai International Studies University and became a top student.
Compared to Cheng Chong, who is from a scholarly family, Xiao Jiang, who is attending a technical secondary school, wonders if he would be ashamed.
Of course, Cheng Chong is one of the very few Chinese actresses who can barely reach the third rate in Hollywood. Li Tang knew her quite well in her previous life, not to mention that Li Tang's parents liked her quite a lot in her previous life. It's just that this kind of love comes more from the "Little Flower" that year.
Li Tang has also seen a lot of films made by Cheng Chong during his time in Hollywood. Apart from the starring roles in "The Last Emperor" and "Taipan", many of them appeared in specific supporting roles. About two thousand years later, the focus of her career shifted back to China. For example, this time in "Jasmine Blooms", her role was second only to Zhang Ziyi, playing Mo's mother and the elderly Mo respectively.
Cheng Chong married two husbands in the United States. The first husband she met at a young age became her agent. At that time, she was just starting out in Hollywood, and she probably had a red sofa or something, so they finally parted ways. The second husband was a famous doctor, which was a return to the family tradition. The marriage was very happy until Li Tang traveled through time.
Fortunately, both of her husbands are Chinese.
Thinking of this, Li Tang couldn't help but look at classmate Xiao Zhang with complicated eyes. Xiao Zhang looked a little confused and asked specifically: "Teacher Li, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's okay. I'm just leaving soon and I can't bear to leave you!"
"Tch, don't say it so nicely, I'm afraid what you're thinking about right now is..."
After all, it was difficult for Xiao Zhang to say the name he wanted to say in front of a large audience. She thought Li Tang was joking with her again, but she didn't know that Li Tang's words were a pun.
In the future, classmate Xiao Zhang will go to Hollywood to make a career, and he will not hesitate to be "foreign" with his body, but in the end he will get nothing. Moreover, it is said that the foreigner especially loved the flowers in the backyard. Although I don’t know whether it is true or not, I can feel my anus tightening just thinking about it.
It’s not easy for Xiao Zhang!
…
"You don't have to rush to work when you get back. I'll give you a week's leave. You've been working hard recently, so take a good rest."
The play was finished, and Li Tang asked his assistant Zhao Luoyao to return to Beijing first.
As long as he's not working, he doesn't have the habit of having an assistant by his side all day long.
"Teacher Li, when will you go back?"
"Not necessarily, let's see. Anyway, I will call you in advance before returning to the capital." Li Tang said thoughtfully.
Of the two cities, Beijing and Shanghai, he certainly prefers Shanghai.
Downstairs in the old apartment, he personally put his assistant into a taxi to the airport and waved goodbye.
During the filming, for the convenience of work, Li Tang and the creative team stayed at the Huating Hotel. The day before the filming was finalized, the attentive assistant Xiao Zhao had contacted the housekeeping company in advance to clean up the inside and outside of the old apartment, including new sheets and quilt covers in the bedroom.
Li Tang returned to the house and lay relaxed on the sofa.
Throughout the last year, due to the start-up of the company and the busy work schedule, he spent very little time in what he considered to be his real home. Looking at everything in the living room, he felt a vague sense of strangeness.
I originally thought that "Jasmine Blossoms" would be busy for a month, but it ended up being completed in less than half a month. His remaining work now is to attend the Cannes Film Festival in late April as the lead actor of "Purple Butterfly" with classmates Lou Ye, Nai'an and Xiao Zhang. And according to the latest news he got, Wang Xiaoshuai's "Second Brother", which just finished filming at the beginning of the year, is said to have been invited to the Cannes Film Festival, and he, the only starring actor, will definitely make an appearance by then. There are also "Uniform" and "Incense" invested and produced by his own company. If MK2 is good, then the Cannes Film Festival will be enough to keep him busy for a while.
But before that, he planned to take a good rest in Shanghai. In the past, he preferred to stay in his hometown for rest and have wine and dinner with Lao Li and Xiao Lao every day, which was quite comfortable. But now that Dad has Aunt Xiao, it’s hard for him to go back to being a light bulb.
Although it's nice to stay in the old apartment, it's still a bit lonely.
Teacher Jiang is currently busy filming "Plum Blossom Files" in Chengdu.
My ex-girlfriend is excitedly participating in Feng Xiaogang's new movie "Mobile Phone". She just had a phone call the day before yesterday and said that she just arrived in Qingdao and will be filming there for half a month. Although she is not the female lead this time, her role is not much less than that of Xu Fan, and she also plays opposite Uncle Ge. If nothing else goes wrong, by the end of this year during the Lunar New Year, my ex-girlfriend will be very popular no matter what she does. After all, I have been in the industry for almost ten years, so it’s not easy!
As for Little Fatty, after recording several interview shows to promote "Jade Guanyin", he has already reported to the crew of "One Meter of Sunshine" without stopping. The film will start shooting at the end of the month, and will be shot in Lijiang for a month before moving to Shanghai. By then, he will have already left for Cannes, which is a perfect stagger.
Although there are quite a few "good friends", they are all very busy. It's so boring that no one can be by my side when I'm lonely!
Li Tang thought for a while, took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket, and wondered whether he should call Baldy Xu. Not long ago, he just finished filming "The Surprise" and has returned to Shanghai.
This guy likes to eat flower wine, eat Japanese food, and drink coffee. Nowadays, it is definitely not polite to eat flower wine and Li Tang, but it is still good to eat Japanese food, drink coffee, and brag.
Just as he was about to dial the number, his phone vibrated. When he saw the caller's number, Li Tang couldn't help but say "Eh".
