"Why did you mess with her?" Gao Yuanyuan sat next to Li Tang and asked softly.
Li Tang glanced at her and said depressedly: "I didn't mean it, it wasn't because you laughed."
It turned out that when Han Ling finished introducing his English name, Li Tang subconsciously blurted out the words "Silly Face Na", which could have been interpreted as a slip of the tongue or inaccurate pronunciation. As a result, Gao Yuanyuan who was following him burst out laughing. The situation became very awkward. Before Li Tang could explain, the silly-faced Na ran away angrily and was sitting opposite them, putting on a cheeky face and still looking angry.
But then again, you said that for such a newcomer, you seem to be a bit angry.
Gao Yuanyuan whispered into his ear again: "I heard that he has a very good background, so be careful if he wears small shoes for you."
Li Tang has also come into contact with some colleagues with backgrounds in recent years, such as Ke Lan and Ye Daying. After contacting him, he felt that they were all OK, so he gradually became less awed by the so-called backgrounds as he did when he first traveled through time. .
"You have a background, what background?"
"The specific background is not clear, but there must be a background. I heard that she was accompanied by security guards when she was filming on a crew."
"Oh, so exaggerated?"
Li Tang was really surprised. What level was it?
He subconsciously glanced at the silly-faced Na with a guilty conscience, and happened to meet the silly-faced Na's eyes. As a result, she turned her head arrogantly, raised her head at a forty-five degree angle, and said, "I'm still angry, I don't forgive you." Your behavior is very much like a spoiled little public servant.
Li Tang was so frightened that he quickly shrank his head and asked Gao Yuanyuan quietly: "Then is there any security guard with her this time?"
"Then I don't know, maybe." Gao Yuanyuan said uncertainly, then added: "I heard she is quite low-key."
Low profile? You already have security guards, but you still keep a low profile?
The two of them sat together and whispered, and everyone watched. Of course no one would make fun of them, at most they would look at each other secretly and smile without saying a word.
It can be seen that Director He Qun is very nostalgic. Among the leading actors who participated in the script reading meeting this time, except for Li Tang, Gao Yuanyuan, Sun Hao, the black and white cousins and the low-key Silly Face Na, all the others are... I collaborated with director He Qun. For example, Teacher Shen Junyi who plays Tantai Mieming, Sun Chenxi who plays Xie Tianhua, etc.
Teacher Shen Junyi is an old acquaintance. Whether it is the mountain leopard in "Wulong Mountain Bandit Suppression" or Shi Gengxin in "Fire King Kong", they all left a deep impression on Li Tang. Oh, by the way, he just played the role of Ding Chunqiu in "Dragon Movie" last year.
As for Sun Chenxi, who plays Master Zhang Danfeng, it would be difficult to connect him with Qiao Luocheng, who played the role of the pink jade carving, if not for the introduction by Director He Qun. He is an actor from Tianjin People's Art Theater and is only three years older than Li Tang. However, he starred in a series of martial arts movies from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, and became a young hero in the eyes of many martial arts fans, including his original self. .
It's just that in the past seven or eight years, we have hardly seen his works. Now, when we look at them again, they are completely different. The once pink and jade-carved young hero has obviously developed in a greasy direction and is seriously disabled.
However, as a Peking Opera martial artist, he is still the only one among the many main actors, except Li Tang, who really knows Kung Fu.
It was a simple meeting, mainly for everyone to get to know each other. Then Director He Qun explained the schedule for the next five days and the necessary precautions during extraordinary times. After that, the meeting adjourned and everyone went to the restaurant to have a meal together.
The crew was very generous. Not only the more than 20 main creators who participated in the script reading meeting, but also the assistants brought by everyone were arranged to sit on the table. Li Tang didn't see the legendary guard. Silly Face Na only brought an assistant who looked a bit old.
During the dinner, Li Tang made a special toast to Sha Lian Na and said apologetically: "Xiao Han, I'm sorry, I accidentally said that I was bald just now."
In front of everyone, Silly Face Na stood up and clinked glasses with Li Tang and said, "Brother, I'd like to hear you speak English a long time ago. Don't you think you're kidding me."
Well, a little girl who has just turned twenty has already learned how to speak with a gun and carry a stick. After all, it is because of her unusual family background.
However, Li Tang didn't mind, and drank the wine in the glass sincerely.
The little girl also showed her smile again very knowingly, and would chat with him in Shanghainese from time to time.
It turns out that the little girl is from Suzhou, and her hometown of Wujiang is right next to Li Tang's hometown. The two places are adjacent, and even the distance from city to city is only a few dozen kilometers apart. In addition, I am studying at Shanghai Opera, so I can naturally speak Shanghainese fluently.
Moreover, the little girl is very smart. During the conversation, she will reveal her extraordinary family background from time to time. It is not a simple and crude way of showing off, but the kind that touches the point and makes people understand. All in all, it makes people feel very mysterious, and at the same time, it also makes people subconsciously feel that even though this girl has such a background, she is not ostentatious at all and is very low-key.
The afternoon reading session was naturally hosted by Director He Qun. As usual, Director He Qun first introduced the background of the story:
"In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Yun Jing, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, went to Wa Ci..."
Just when Li Tang secretly lamented that even the director was talking about white, he heard Gao Yuanyuan next to him interrupting: "Director, you read it wrong. This one is not pronounced Wasi, it should be pronounced Wala. It was written wrong in the script."
"Really?" Director He Qun was stunned.
Li Tang noticed that the more than 20 people present were also confused.
There are three screenwriters named on the script, but the screenwriters were not present today. The reason is very simple. It took six revisions of the script before it was approved by Mr. Liang Yusheng. In principle, the script cannot be changed. The purpose of the reading meeting is to allow the actors to familiarize themselves with the script as quickly as possible, clarify the relationship between the characters, and further become familiar with the lines. To put it bluntly, it is similar to a rehearsal before shooting.
Gao Yuanyuan quickly took a piece of white paper, wrote a big stab on it, and explained: "Wala is this stab, and it looks very similar to the stab of a bayonet. So I wonder if I accidentally typed it in the script while typing It’s wrong and it misleads everyone.”
Is it a typo?
Definitely not, because the actors have never had contact with the screenwriters, but Director He Qun has communicated with the three screenwriters many times before, and they are all very good at it. He couldn't help but feel very strange. Didn't this obvious error be discovered from beginning to end in the Sixth Change of Draft?
Of course, he originally had doubts about the mistake pointed out by Gao Yuanyuan, but he immediately thought of one person, that is, the general manager of the import and export branch of China Film Group, named La Peikang. The stab written by Gao Yuanyuan is the stab written by Peikang. You can write the wrong words, but there is no reason why you should pronounce someone's name wrong.
And coincidentally, this boss is a Mongolian, and isn’t the Wara a branch of ancient Mongolia?
Director He Qun pondered for a moment, then took out his cell phone and said, "Let me ask the screenwriter."
On the one hand, it’s for verification, and on the other hand, it’s out of respect for the screenwriter.
So in front of everyone, he dialed the screenwriter's phone number: "Hey, Lao Li, I'm He Qun. I just want to ask, is the tile in the script a tile or a tile? I remember it should be a tile, right?" "
I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone. Anyway, Director He Qun waited for a long time before he heard him say: "Okay, I just know... um, it's okay, I just need to correct it... um, bye!"
After putting down the phone, Director He Qun picked up a pen and scratched two lines on the script. The thorns in the tiles were changed to thorns, and he also specifically marked it with the word "pull". Then he raised his head and said, "Well, let's all mark this down in the script. It's Wala, not Wala."
After saying that, he smiled at Gao Yuanyuan and thanked him: "Yuanyuan, thank you for pointing it out, otherwise you would have made a fool of yourself."
"Director, no, I have been reading Wa Ci. Brother Li figured it out and corrected it for me when I read the script before." Gao Yuanyuan quickly pointed to Li Tang beside her with a smile.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's attention instantly shifted to Li Tang. When Gao Yuanyuan mentioned it just now, everyone was confused. After all, it was written like this in the script. Of course, it was "Washi". Unexpectedly, after the director After checking, I found out it was wrong. Everyone looked at Gao Yuanyuan differently. After all, she came from a Gaochi family, so she was educated after all.
Moreover, if everyone is shouting "Wa Ci Wa Ci" like this, it will make a huge joke when it is broadcast, and everyone will be embarrassed in the end.
But after Gao Yuanyuan's explanation, she suddenly discovered that the culprit was actually Li Tang. To her surprise, her eyes were somewhat amused.
What do you mean if you don't say it yourself and let Gao Yuanyuan do it?
Li Tang also looked embarrassed at this time, especially when he saw Director He Qun's meaningful gaze, his scalp went numb.
In fact, he has his own ideas. Wala and Wala are exactly the same word. He didn't mention it before because he didn't know if Director He Qun would see this mistake.
If someone notices it and you step forward to correct it, wouldn't it sound like showing off?
If you don't see it, then mention it to the director privately after today's reading meeting. Of course, you can also make mistakes when reading the script. After all, director He Qun also wants to save face.
As a result, as soon as Director He Qun opened his mouth, Gao Yuanyuan, a conspicuous person, corrected him, leaving him speechless. This girl has been in the industry for so many years, why is she still so ignorant?
At the same time, he secretly blamed himself for not warning her in advance.
It was originally a small matter. I tried to take everyone's feelings into consideration and quietly corrected the typo. But just because Gao Yuanyuan made such a fuss and shook herself out, it was embarrassing, as if she had ulterior motives and deliberately wanted to make the director and everyone laugh.
"Ahem..."
He coughed twice, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he was about to explain a few words to clear everyone's misunderstanding, when the silly-faced Na suddenly appeared and said: "Wow, senior brother, you are so educated. , I wouldn’t have known if Yuanyuan didn’t tell me just now.”
Li Tang immediately looked at Silly Face Na. Although she had an innocent expression on her face, her rolling eyes were enough to show that this girl definitely did it on purpose. It was not a big deal to watch the fun, but she actually helped Gong Huo. .
There was no other way, so Li Tang had to laugh first, to ease the embarrassment a little, and then he looked at Director He Qun sincerely and said, "I'm sorry, director. Actually, I was a bit unsure. I originally wanted to follow him in private." Everyone, hand it over to the building."
Although Director He Qun's eyes were meaningful, Li Tang was his favorite male lead after all, and he pointed out the mistake and avoided making a fool of himself, so he laughed and said: "Xiao Li, you better be careful! Okay, since there is a mistake Corrected, then let’s move on.”
The word "careful" is a pun, indicating that Director He Qun accepts his explanation.
Li Tang breathed a sigh of relief, and took another deep look at the silly-faced Na who was still looking innocent, but her big eyes blinked too fast, and her acting was a bit over the top.
However, Gao Yuanyuan next to her saw everyone's gazes and the conversation between Li Tang and the director. After a moment, she finally realized her mistake. At this time, she could only smile awkwardly at Li Tang and look at him apologetically.
Seeing this, Li Tang had no choice but to squeeze her little hand under the table to express comfort. A small matter that could have been explained in a few sentences, but because of her recklessness, the author had to write a chapter.
If you want to criticize, just go ahead and criticize the author, it has nothing to do with the goddess.
After all, the script was drafted in six revisions and approved by Mr. Liang Yusheng. Generally speaking, it is quite solid. Although some people accidentally read "Wa La" as "Wa Ci" at the beginning, after five days of reviewing the script, Read, everyone will adapt to it.
Except for Gao Yuanyuan, Silly Face Na and the black-headed cousin Ji Ta, everyone else here is basically a strong person, especially with their script skills. Reading the script is a piece of cake. Everyone pays more attention to each other. Cooperate with each other, and sometimes just stand up and rehearse with each other if they are interested.
Silly-faced Na and black-faced cousin Ji Ta are also from a major, one is a senior and the other is a sophomore, and their basic line skills are just passable. Especially Silly Face Na, her voice sounds very shrill, which fits the image of the unruly, willful and vicious Tantai Jingming in the script.
In contrast, Gao Yuanyuan was almost uninteresting. Although she temporarily asked Zhang Songwen to help her tutor, her lines cannot be improved overnight. Fortunately, director He Qun originally took a fancy to her because of her current popularity. He had too high hopes for her line skills. If it didn't work out in the end, he would just do dubbing.
But Yuanyuan also wanted to save face, so she held her breath in her heart. So every day after dinner, I came to Li Tang's room to ask for advice.
Fortunately, one was teaching hard and the other was studying hard. Their minds were not elsewhere and they were finally at peace with each other.
I've been freezing for the past two days, and I've caught a cold again. Everyone, please pay attention. Don’t be reluctant to turn on air conditioning or electric heating just to save money. The author is a lesson learned from the past.
