Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 18 Weekly Newsletter
Li Tang had a very comfortable life in the past half a month. He ran every day, played boxing games, watched movies, and helped out when the restaurant was busy.

When it comes to boxing, even Lao Li is very curious.

He had no choice but to tell Lao Li that he learned it when he was in college and practiced blindly.

In his previous life, when he was in middle school, he was often bullied by white ghosts and black ghosts, so he went to the martial arts gym in the Chinese gathering area to learn Kung Fu, and ended up learning loneliness.

The master who immigrated from Hong Kong taught what is called Cai Li Foquan, which is just a routine, a show, and it is not very useful in actual combat.It wasn't until he learned Sanda later that he was ashamed.

However, routines have their advantages. At least they seem to have flexible and steady steps, chic and generous movements, and majestic fists, which are quite bluffing.After practicing for a long time, it has the effect of stretching the muscles and bones and strengthening the body, so it can be regarded as a set of aerobics.

As for watching movies, he doesn't watch Hollywood blockbusters and the like, he mainly watches domestic movies.In addition to the well-known films of Xie Jin, Director Chen, Zhang Yimou and other big directors, he has actually seen many good films, such as Huang Jianxin's "Black Cannon Incident", Huang Jianzhong's "New Year" and Shanghai Film Studio. San Mao Congjun Ji", and the Hong Kong martial arts movie "Burning the Red Lotus Temple" and so on.

Most of these films have been seen in the original, but after watching them again, I have a deeper understanding and feeling.

In addition, he also found a new film, which is said to have just won the grand prize at the Berlin Film Festival.But after watching it, the perception is very bad. This film called "Xiao Wu" has no technique at all. The only explanation for winning the award is probably because the film shows a poor and backward society, and it hits the cool point of Westerners. .

Labor Day is coming as scheduled, and there is no concept of Golden Week yet. There is only one day off for Labor Day, with weekends off on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and work on the 4th.

After May [-]st, the leave that Li Tang had asked for before expired. On May [-]th Youth Day, he participated in a youth symposium at his work unit in the morning, and sat in the theater to watch the rehearsal in the afternoon.

Not long after he sat down, the phone in his pocket vibrated, and he hurried outside to answer the call.

"Sister An, do you have a letter?"

It was Naian who called, and Li Tang's first reaction was whether "Suzhou Creek" was almost ready.

Although the past half month has been very leisurely, after filming "Shanghai Chronicle", his heart has been itching.

"Well, are you free this afternoon?"

"Too free."

"At three o'clock, it's still the cafe on Xiangyang Road."

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

At five minutes to three, Li Tang came to the cafe on his motorcycle.

It was still the long table by the window, Naian had already arrived, and there was no sign of Lou Ye.

Li Tang went and sat down opposite her: "Sister An, isn't Brother Ye here?"

Naian raised his wrist to look at the time and said: "It's three o'clock, it's almost here, he is very punctual."

There are many varieties of coffee in this cafe. Li Tang ordered a cup of Blue Mountain, although there was a high probability that it was a fake Blue Mountain, and asked again: "The heroine has been decided."

"It's settled, today is to introduce you to each other."

Li Tang's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly said, "So the machine will start up soon?"

Naian smiled and said: "The plan is to start the machine this month, and there are still some preparations that have not been completed. It is estimated to be around the tenth, and Lou Ye will decide the details."

"That's good."

Li Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

Lou Ye's current movies are called "independent movies" according to the American saying.The original concept of independent films came from Hollywood in the 60s and [-]s. At that time, Hollywood was monopolized by the so-called eight major film companies, and the operation of a film shooting followed a rigorous producer system.

The goal of this system is completely aimed at the market, hoping to obtain the maximum profit.Therefore, although this system brings a lot of funds to the film industry, it also limits the space for film creators to play.

As a result, a group of filmmakers got rid of the control of the eight major film companies, raised their own funds, even wrote their own scripts, acted as directors, and made many ideological films that are completely different from mainstream commercial films, which are called "independent films."

At present, the concept of "independent film" is also gradually emerging in China. It basically refers to films that get rid of the monopoly of state-owned film studios, the sources of funds are private enterprises or private investors, and the directors raise their own funds. The production cost is generally relatively low.

In layman's terms, domestic "independent films" are films that are independent of the system.

It's just that independent films often fail because of lack of funds, or because of a break in the funding chain, they cannot be completed.The "Super City" filmed by Lou Ye was abandoned halfway due to financial problems.

"Suzhou Creek" is at least able to launch smoothly at present.

He didn't ask who the heroine was. Although Lou Ye's movies were all about love, he had even read the script and didn't even know what role he would play, nor did he care what kind of person the heroine would be.

As expected, Lou Ye was very punctual, and when he was talking, he was followed by a young girl who was very small. Lou Ye was at most 1.7 meters tall, and the girl was half a head behind him.

"Brother Ye!"

Li Tang stood up to say hello, and at the same time, he saw the girl's appearance clearly. The small oval face was very delicate, and the big eyes were vivid, which seemed very familiar.

"This is the weekly newsletter!" Lou Ye introduced.

"Hi, my name is Li Tang." Li Tang stretched out his hand to the girl named Zhou Xun.

"Hello."

Zhou Xun smiled and shook hands with him, his voice was a little hoarse.

When he saw her smile, Li Tang froze for a moment, not because he was surprised, but because he finally remembered.

"You are the flower carving in "Nvvvhong"?"

"Yeah, you've seen this movie!"

Zhou Xun was surprised, this movie is very small, and she doesn't have many roles.

Li Tang smiled and said, "I just watched it not long ago."

He watched this movie because the director was Xie Yan, the son of the master Xie Jin, and the leading actor was Fu Chengpeng, a senior brother from the show and Baldy Xu's good friend.Zhou Xun played the heroine Gui Yalei when she was young.

Since the two got to know Lou Ye, they didn't say much. They sat next to Naian and couldn't wait to talk about the film preparation.

Nai'an awkwardly greeted Zhou Xun, and started chatting with Lou Ye.

"What do you want to drink?" Li Tang asked.

"What kind of coffee are you drinking?" Zhou Xun blinked his big eyes and looked into his cup.

"Uh, Blue Mountain."

"what about the taste?"

"Okay."

"Then it's as good as yours, and I'll have a glass of Blue Mountain too."

Zhou Xun's smile was particularly sweet, and Li Tang subconsciously compared her with Yuan Quan, whom she was most familiar with recently. Both of them were girls with very recognizable looks, and they both had big clean eyes.

The difference is probably that Yuan Quan is taller and Zhou Xun has a smaller face.With the same clean and big eyes, Yuan Quan looks energetic and has a strong sense of oppression, while Zhou Xun is more agile and delicate.

Lou Ye and Nai'an couldn't take care of them for the time being, Li Tang couldn't be too cold on Zhou Xun, so he asked, "Aside from "Daughter Red", what other movies have you made?"

"I did a comedy and a few TV shows, but they were all small roles."

Zhou Xun felt a little embarrassed, and added: "I just finished filming "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" by Director Chen."

""Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin"? Yes!" Li Tang immediately praised.

Although Director Chen's movie is still in the shooting stage, there have been many reports on TV and newspapers. The most eye-catching thing is that Director Chen built a magnificent building in Hengdian at a cost of more than [-] million to make this movie. The magnificent Qin Palace.

Moreover, today's director Chen, relying on the momentum of winning the Palme d'Or in Cannes back then, still sits firmly on the top spot of the so-called fifth generation of directors in China.Zhang Yimou, who has won many awards, can only be regarded as his equal.

"Hee hee, actually there aren't many scenes, I'm just playing one..."

In the middle of speaking, Zhou Xun suddenly covered his mouth, then looked at Li Tang with apologetic eyes, and whispered: "It must be kept secret, I can't say it."

Seeing her cute appearance, Li Tang couldn't help asking: "How old are you?"

In his impression, Zhou Xun might be around eighteen or twenty.

"I was in 74."

What, it's as big as yourself?

"true or false?"

"of course it's true."

Li Tang didn't care about rashness, and continued to ask: "What month?"

"October."

Hey, he's actually a month older than himself.

Li Tang suddenly didn't want to talk anymore, otherwise he would have to call this little girl who looked like a high school student "Sister".

Zhou Xun looked at him with his head tilted, and asked, "Hey, how old are you?"

"Uh...about the same as you."

"You are also born in 74? What month did you live in?"

"October...November."

"Pfft!"

Zhou Xun burst out laughing.

Maybe the atmosphere was too warm, Lou Ye and Naian who were talking ecstatically turned their heads when they heard the sound.

Seeing Zhou Xun pointing at the depressed Li Tang: "Haha, I'm still a month older than you."

There was a smile on Nai'an's face, but Lou Ye's eyes showed helplessness, the strangeness he deliberately created was broken like this?
