After the meal, Li Tang didn't chat much with Gao Yuanyuan, but he had a very interesting chat with Zhang Songwen. Although Zhang Songwen maintains a very low profile, his words are quite candid, unlike some people who appear to be enthusiastic, but there is a lot of falseness behind their smiles.
Gao Yuanyuan didn't seem to care at all about Li Tang's "snubbing". She sat next to him and helped Li Tang pick vegetables and pour wine from time to time, like a little daughter-in-law. Xu Sanjin and Xiao Zhao, who knew the inside story, naturally knew what was going on. Zhang Songwen, the only person they met for the first time, did not show any surprise or curiosity. He looked as usual and kept chatting and laughing with Li Tang. It was obvious at first glance that he was a smart man.
After the meal, everyone said goodbye at the door of the hotel.
"Songwen, where do you live? I'll send you off."
The change in title shows that Li Tang has recognized this person and can associate with him as a friend.
"No, no, thank you, Teacher Li. I live very close. There is a bus stop in front of me. It's only a few stops away."
"Okay, let's talk later if we have a chance."
Li Tang waved goodbye to Zhang Songwen.
This guy is quite interesting. Before he left, he didn't forget to tell Xu Sanjin: "Sanjin, don't be late for class tomorrow afternoon."
"Don't worry, Teacher Zhang, you won't be late."
Sanjin drank a little too much today and talked loudly. Zhao Luoyao was still supporting him.
"Teacher Li, then I will send him back." Xiao Zhao said a little worried.
"Let's go in the car together!" Li Tang said.
At this time, the driver Shen Lin had already driven the car over.
"No need, Teacher Li. I want to take a breather first and just take a stroll around here. The capital is so big and there are many places I haven't been to yet." Xu Sanjin giggled.
"Then...okay."
Li Tang saw that Xu Sanjin was not particularly drunk, and at least his eyes looked clear, so he nodded hesitantly, not forgetting to tell Xiao Zhao: "Look at him."
"Don't worry, Teacher Li." Xiao Zhao responded quickly.
After watching the two people leave, Li Tang opened the car door, turned around and smiled at Gao Yuanyuan: "Princess, please get in the car!"
Wow, so romantic!
Every girl has a princess dream when she is young. Gao Yuanyuan, who was surprised and secretly happy, showed a shy smile on her face and sat in the car calmly.
Li Tang went around to the other side of the car, opened the back door and sat next to Gao Yuanyuan.
"Send Miss Gao home first."
"I know, boss." The driver Shen Lin responded.
He had given her away once before and knew that Gao Yuanyuan lived in a newly built community near Ciqikou, Chongwen.
Seeing this brand new Audi driving by, Xu Sanjin, who had originally intended to lean on Zhao Luoyao and pretend to be drunk, suddenly sobered up, smiled at Xiao Zhao and said, "Sister Luoyao, how was my performance?"
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Xiao Zhao didn't expect that Xu Sanjin was pretending to be drunk. He suddenly felt like he was being teased and his face was full of displeasure.
"no!"
Xu Sanjin pursed his lips toward the Audi's taillight and said, "Sister Luo Yao, do you still want to get in the car and be a lightbulb?"
"Well……"
Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, but he was still unconvinced and said: "What about making light bulbs? Master Shen is still in the car."
"Sister Luoyao, this is because you are ignorant. Didn't you see that Sister Yuanyuan likes Teacher Li?"
What do you mean I'm ignorant?
Xiao Zhao immediately glared and said, "What do you know, you little brat? Why are you so blindly working on Teacher Li?"
"No, I always feel that Teacher Li also likes Sister Yuanyuan, but he can't let go and seems a little embarrassed, so let's try not to get involved." Xu Sanjin actually said it clearly.
"..."
Xiao Zhao had no way to refute, thinking that his boss was indeed a passionate person, and at the same time he couldn't help but secretly feel sorry for Boss Zeng.
Seeing that Xiao Zhao was silent, Xu Sanjin smiled seductively, and said, "Sister Luo Yao, let's go to the bar and sit down."
Xiao Zhao, who was already in a bad mood, rolled his eyes at him and choked: "What are you going to do? Go home!"
…
The Audi was very quiet, and neither of the two people sitting in the back seat spoke first.
The driver in the front seat, Shen Lin, was driving intently. As a driver, he had always been blind and deaf.
In the end, Li Tang couldn't help but break the silence and said, "Why didn't you call me before? Are you angry?"
To be honest, this is the question he least wants to ask, but some people are always so mean. He doesn't care when others get on the pole, but when others ignore him, he has to get on the pole to ask why.
So when I ran out of things to say, I asked the question that I least wanted to ask but was most curious about.
A smile flashed across Gao Yuanyuan's lips, but she pretended to be innocent and even a little apologetic and said: "I didn't dare to fight, I was worried that you would be in trouble."
Good boy, even if he is a veteran like Li Tang, when he heard Gao Yuanyuan's answer, he felt a sense of guilt. He blurted out without thinking about it: "I'm sorry, I was the one who thought about it at first." It’s simple. In fact, it doesn’t matter if you think about it afterwards. After all, some things can’t be avoided by just hiding. Well... we are still friends after all, don’t you think?"
friend?
Although Gao Yuanyuan was not satisfied with this title, she was very satisfied that Li Tang was able to take the initiative to apologize and explain today. Haste leads to waste, and the higher the difficulty, the more challenging it seems.
"It's okay, anyway... Anyway, we are working together again, Brother Li, don't you think so?"
"right!"
Then Gao Yuanyuan climbed up the pole and said, "Then I'll come to your place tomorrow and let's study the script together!"
"Well……"
Speaking of studying the script, Li Tang couldn't help but think of the little love between himself and Xiaopang. The two were studying together last night.
With the faint light reflected from the street lights outside the car, he could clearly see Gao Yuanyuan's big eyes, and her excited face full of curiosity. At this moment, he felt his heartbeat suddenly skip a beat, and he felt an inexplicable impulse.
Fortunately, a red light appeared in front of him. The driver, Shen Lin, lightly stepped on the brakes and slowly stopped the car. The inertia pulled him back to clarity. He quickly apologized: "I may not be able to spare time these days. There is still someone in the company." There are a lot of things.”
Gao Yuanyuan, who was full of hope, suddenly showed a disappointed look, and couldn't hide her depression and said: "That's it. Originally, I wanted to ask you for advice, but I was just afraid that the performance would not be good."
To be honest, Gao Yuanyuan's acting skills are indeed almost boring. As for her "outstanding performance" in "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword", it may be largely because she is suitable for such a role, or it is her true character.
This kind of thing is actually quite common. For example, an actor performs particularly well in a play and becomes famous instantly. But later I discovered that no matter what role he plays, he will always have the shadow of his famous character. To put it nicely, this situation is called a narrow playing field, which is only suitable for some specific characters; to put it badly, it actually means that the acting skills are poor, and the acting is just acting oneself.
Li Tang subconsciously thought of Zhang Songwen, whom he had just had a pleasant conversation with at the dinner table, and murmured: "In this case, let me help you find Songwen, and let him help you analyze the characters systematically."
"Is Teacher Zhang reliable?" Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask.
Because she learned from the conversation between Li Tang and Zhang Songwen at the dinner table that Teacher Zhang seemed to have a lot of theory, but after all, he was a student who just graduated from Nortel's vocational class last year.
Moreover, she had hired acting teachers to teach her before, but they were all senior acting teachers from China National Theater or Nortel, and even had the title of professor.
"Reliable!"
Li Tang replied in the affirmative without hesitation.
After all, Gao Yuanyuan is not from a professional background. What she lacks the most is training in basics and acting theory. She often has no idea how to start when she gets a role, and most of her performance is taken for granted. If you happen to meet a character that suits you, you may be okay, but if you meet a character who wants to explore the character's heart, you will be blind and superficial.
Although Zhang Songwen's academic qualifications are not good, Li Tang can clearly feel from the conversation just now that the other party has put in hard work in the past two years in Nortel's vocational class. Not only does he have solid theoretical knowledge, but more importantly, he is not rigid. I have a lot of my own ideas about form, which is quite valuable.
In addition, given Gao Yuanyuan's current level, Li Tang feels that she needs more targeted performance guidance from a careful teacher like Zhang Songwen. According to the schedule, the crew will assemble in ten days and then conduct a five-day script reading. Time is running out, so what Gao Yuanyuan needs more is this kind of targeted training, rather than regular performance teaching.
"That's okay then."
Out of trust in Li Tang, Gao Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then I'll call him now. As for the script... I'll give it to him here, let him read the script and prepare in advance. I'll let you know when the time is set."
It should be said that Li Tang was very considerate for himself, and Gao Yuanyuan immediately said "Yes" happily.
After eight o'clock in the evening, the road conditions in downtown Beijing are pretty good. The car went to the East Third Ring Road from Liangmaqiao Road, went all the way south, got off at Guangqumenwai Street, then went west along Guangqumenwai Street to Ciqikou, then turned into a small street and walked more than 100 meters. The entrance of Gao Yuanyuan's community.
"Brother Li..."
After getting off the bus, Gao Yuanyuan hesitated to speak to Li Tang, who was getting off the bus with her.
Li Tang, who had long since regained his composure, smiled and waved goodbye to her, and made a phone call gesture: "Hurry in, let's call."
Second update!
