"Xiao Li, you may have misunderstood. Originally, we originally looked for Xiao Yanzi for the role of Yun Lei based on the results of netizens' votes, but we had to give up because the schedule did not match. In fact, it was a coincidence that we found Gao Yuanyuan. He Qun was chosen from the beginning. The director selected the candidate mainly because her appearance in "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" was very good and she was very popular with the audience. There was no intention to use the previous news to deliberately hype..."
After turning to the topic, Fan Xiaotian was very candid and straight to the point.
In fact, for the same words, who says it is very important.
Fan Xiaotian is thin and elegant. He is full of bookishness as he comes from a literary background, and he never has any airs. He always looks you in the eyes when he speaks, and looks very sincere.
At the same time, Guangtou Xu also helped: "Li Tang, I have no choice. I have signed a contract with them, and if you violate it, you will have to pay liquidated damages. But you have a schedule, and you will never let Teacher Fan down. Cut. Besides, I believe you can definitely handle such a small matter."
Seeing that what Baldy Xu said seemed true, people who didn't know him would definitely believe it. In fact, this guy is a very good thief. He became famous for playing Zhu Bajie, and was even affectionately called "Zhu Bajie" by the audience.
This guy has always wanted to get rid of this label, just like Fan Xiaopang wanted to get rid of the symbol of "golden lock". As an actor, you definitely don’t want to be framed in one role all the time.
Under such circumstances, he would definitely not be willing to play the role of Zhu Bajie again. Especially when there is a film to be filmed and the pay is still high.
"Xiao Li, to tell you the truth, Director He Qun actually wanted to come and talk to you personally this time, because he was really busy with the early work of the crew. Let me express my apology to you, and let me tell you that he is very I hope you can play the role of Zhang Danfeng."
"To be honest, when we asked Director He Qun to direct this play, Director He Qun was also very hesitant. After all, he had been working in movies before. So after taking over this play, Director He was under a lot of pressure. He I think your ability to play the role of Zhang Danfeng is the key to the success of this drama. On the one hand, your good image is what he imagined Zhang Danfeng should be like. On the other hand, your acting skills and your achievements in action scenes especially impressed him. rest assured……"
Watching high hats being thrown at you one after another, especially when the speaker has an unusual identity and looks at you sincerely. Li Tang felt that if he remained silent any longer, he might not be able to speak out.
In the end, he could only say: "Thank you, Teacher Fan, and also thank you, Director He Qun, for thinking so highly of me. Uh... well... can you let me think about it? I'll have to discuss it with my agent."
Hearing that Li Tang's attitude finally relaxed, Fan Xiaotian smiled happily and said quickly: "This is no problem, it should be, it should be."
But as he spoke, he showed a hesitant and apologetic look and said: "It's just about time... We are planning to start shooting this drama later this month. If we delay it any longer, we may not be able to control the time well."
"I will give a reply as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will ask my agent to contact Director He Qun directly."
"Okay, okay! Xiao Li, I won't say anything more. Anyway, everything is easy to discuss. Come on, let me toast you. I hope we have a happy cooperation!" Fan Xiaotian picked up the wine glass with a sincere look.
Li Tang hesitated for a moment, then finally picked up the cup and touched it with him.
At the moment of toasting, the balance in his heart finally tilted.
At the entrance of the Japanese restaurant, Li Tang and Xu Guangtou said goodbye to Fan Xiaotian and watched his car leave.
Bald Xu said to Li Tang with a look of emotion on his face: "Look, Teacher Ge Fan will definitely give you face!"
Li Tang glanced at him and asked, "Why doesn't Nong accept Yi's role?"
Xu Guangtou said quickly: "Don't tell me to help Nong, I really have no choice. I have signed the contract for you, and I have to pay liquidated damages!"
"cut!"
Li Tang snorted coldly, waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, boss!"
One of them lives in Xuhui, and the other lives in Luwan, which is in two directions: south and north. Moreover, they are not far from their respective homes. They didn’t even drive when they came out. They went back for a stroll (walking).
When he turned around and left, Bald Xu shouted at his back: "Brother, this is a rare opportunity, please hurry up and give me an answer."
Baldy Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Tang raise his hand and wave twice to show that he understood. When he was about to turn around and walk home, he subconsciously touched his pocket for his wallet.
In this kind of Japanese restaurant that resembles private kitchens, a meal for three people today cost more than 800, and the average consumption per person is nearly 300. It is almost as expensive as the Magnolia Restaurant in the Garden Hotel. It makes my body ache just thinking about it. .
Although Fan Xiaotian was still rushing to pay when he paid the bill today, Baldy Xu still had to have the right tone after all, so he just bought the bill himself.
But then I thought about it, Li Tang paid for it every time I came here, and this time he entertained Fan Xiaotian, so it was like making two favors with one meal, which was quite cost-effective.
After consoling himself, Bald Xu suddenly looked confused. How could he be so smart as himself and make a loss-making business?
…
Li Tang returned home, took a shower, changed into pajamas, sat on the sofa, held his cell phone and hesitated whether he should take the initiative to call Fan Xiaopang.
Calculating the dates, in two days the movie "One Meter of Sunshine" that Xiaopang is filming will be transferred from Lijiang to Shanghai for filming. And during this period, the two of them basically talked on the phone every day, and the few days when the ex-girlfriend was here were no exception. They just avoided people a little when they called, so as not to cause trouble to the ex-girlfriend.
In contrast, the phone calls between him and Teacher Jiang were not that frequent. At most, they only called once every two or three days, and he had to take the initiative to call each time. There is no way, Teacher Jiang is very arrogant.
After hesitating for a moment, he called Zeng Jia first. After all, work was still the most important thing. Let’s put aside the matter of children’s love for the time being.
"Jiajia, Fan Xiaotian from Funa Culture came to see me today..."
On the phone, Li Tang briefly introduced the meeting with Fan Xiaotian to Zeng Jia.
"Brother, what do you think?"
"Uh... I want to hear your opinion first."
"Brother, my thoughts are not important, your own thoughts are the most important. No matter what decision you make, I support it!"
After hearing this, Li Tang couldn't help but said in surprise: "Hey, didn't you always persuade me to come here before?"
In the final analysis, he had already made a decision in his heart, but he just needed a reason to convince himself.
Zeng Jia on the other end of the phone couldn't help but chuckled: "Brother, you are the boss, of course I have to obey you in everything!"
"..."
Li Tang knew that Zeng Jia was joking with him, and he obviously understood what he meant. He held the phone and let out a long breath, then he didn't ask for any more reasons and said directly: "You can negotiate the contract with them..."
Halfway through, he suddenly remembered and said, "Oh, by the way, Fan Xiaotian told me before that this movie is scheduled to start shooting later this month, and I have to make time to go to Cannes."
This year's Cannes Film Festival will end from May 14th to May 25th, lasting eleven days. Including the round trip time, he will need at least half a month in between.
"This is no problem. I have talked about this issue before when I contacted Director He Qun. There is no problem with the crew. We will just adjust the shooting schedule when the time comes."
When it came to the Cannes Film Festival, Li Tang did not forget to remind: "There are still two movies of our own. When you have time, you can urge Juliet and ask how the situation is."
"I understand, MK2 is actively operating, I guess the news will be coming soon." Zeng Jia said.
The reason is simple. After all, the interests of the two companies are consistent.
After Zeng Jia finished speaking, she paused for a moment and said in a tentative tone: "Brother, then... uh, what do you tell them? Do you want me to talk to Bingbing first?"
Sorry, I know it's short. I couldn't help it. I had insomnia and didn't sleep well last night. I felt sleepy after dinner and wanted to take a nap. I accidentally overslept. I hurriedly and slowly managed to finish a chapter.
