Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 291 Pretending Not to Feel

Who said thirty, he was only 27 years old and three months old, okay?

Of course, Li Tang would not argue with his father about these words, as it is customary in his hometown to talk about his age.As for getting married, he hadn't even thought about it. He had never been married in his thirties in his last life, let alone now.

And even if you want to get married, you have to have a decent marriage partner.Ex-girlfriend is definitely out of the question, Xiao Pang is actually the same type of person as ex-girlfriend, they are all focused on their careers, even if they want to get married, it is probably too early.As for Jiang Qinqin, she is the type of a good wife and mother, but I don't know much about it yet.

Falling in love and finding a partner is like wearing shoes. They may be tight and fit your feet when you first put them on, but you have to wear them for a while. If it is broken, or it has become baggy after a while, it is definitely not suitable.It must always fit well, the more comfortable it is to travel through, and the kind that can be used for a long time, even if the outside is broken, it can still be worn after repairing it.

So look again, even if you can't get married, isn't it good to leave a beautiful memory for each of you!
Fortunately, the father just nagged a few words like a routine, and didn't force Li Tang to get married as soon as possible.After all, he is not yet old enough to have grandchildren, and since the expansion of the restaurant, and the construction of the new city in his hometown is in full swing, the business is particularly good.

For construction, the service industry is first driven. Restaurants, KTVs, and foot-washing houses are thriving, which greatly promotes the local chicken fart.

The old man also told him mysteriously that last year alone, the hotel's profit reached a small 50 yuan, which is like a small villa a year!
After the new year, Aunt Xiao brought Xiao Xiao back on the first day of the new year.In Aunt Xiao's words, when Xiao Xiaoman is admitted to university, her mission will be completed, and she will give her late husband an explanation, and then she can marry Lao Li in a legitimate way.

To be honest, women like Aunt Xiao are truly good wives and mothers.To paraphrase the war movie about a veteran from Shandong that Li Tang watched in his previous life, there is a line that goes like this: "She cares so much about the dead, and she can't go wrong with the living."

Lao Li married Aunt Xiao, so he could be counted on in his next life.This is the thing that Li Tang is most grateful to Aunt Xiao, and the thing that makes his father most happy.

In fact, the role of father plays a very important role in the growth of the child. Lao Li is definitely a good father. Since the mother and daughter moved here, Xiao Xiao has obviously become a lot more cheerful, and his academic performance has also improved a lot.

The county No. [-] middle school she is studying now, oh, it is now called District No. [-] middle school, after all, it is only the key point of the district.With her current ranking of the top five in her class and the top [-] in her grade, she may not be close to resuming the entrance examination, but it is not a big problem to take the examination of the University of Finance and Economics or Huazheng.

Aunt Xiao has always asked her to take the University of Finance and Economics and study accounting. The accounting major of the University of Finance and Economics is first-class nationwide.In her simple life experience, a person must know a craft to be invincible in order to make a living in society.As for the law major that the little girl is thinking about, especially for those who came from that era, they always feel unreliable.

While Li Tang was at home during the Chinese New Year, Aunt Xiao asked him to persuade Xiao Xiao.

How to advise?

To be honest, there is a general trend of learning from the West in society these days, and it is always the United States.What are the most popular professions such as doctors and lawyers in foreign countries, high income, high social status, etc., which will inevitably affect the career choices of Li Tang and Xiao Xiao's generation.

Li Tang knows best how the United States is. Not to mention that studying medicine in the United States does not mean that one can enter medical school after graduating from high school, but one can enter medical school after graduating from a university. Basically, it is almost impossible to become a doctor before the age of 30. .

In addition, when it comes to lawyers, the United States is a litigious country, and there are lawsuits all the time. The chicken farts created by litigation account for 6% of the total value of chicken farts in the United States.In China, this aspect is almost negligible, so studying law in China is not a good choice.

In this regard, Li Tang especially agrees with Aunt Xiao's point of view. Now that the domestic economy is developing faster and faster, the profession of accounting has a bright future, and it is especially suitable for girls.

Li Tang could only break apart what he knew and analyzed it carefully with Xiao Xiao, and the rest could only be chosen by her.As for her idea of ​​becoming an agent in the future, at first Li Tang thought it was a child's 3-minute enthusiasm, but he didn't expect this kid to take it seriously. She studied law in order to be an agent in the future.

In order not to disappoint Aunt Xiao, he had no choice but to say that being a broker in China is firstly about contacts, secondly about doing business, and finally about knowing the law.For example, his current studio not only helps him take on dramas, but also invests in film and television dramas more importantly, so the agent must first understand economics, understand investment and be able to settle accounts.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, it is the time of rebellion. Although he looks very well-behaved and sensible, in fact, he doesn't listen to his parents' good advice at all. On the contrary, he firmly believes in some fools in the society.

Of course, those born in the [-]s are basically only children. Maybe they won't like to be separated from their parents' doting siblings, but they will not accept an admirable brother.Li Tang plays the role well and successfully speaks to Xiao Xiao.

Quite a broker, it's not difficult.In the future, my brother will help you with your connections. If you listen to Auntie Xiao and study accounting, and also study economic law, you will be able to become an excellent broker in the future.

……

The old apartment on Wuyuan Road, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

The weather in Shanghai has been bad for the past few days after the Spring Festival.The heating and air conditioning in the room is fully activated, and the warmth is harmonious.

Li Tang and his ex-girlfriend were lying on the big bed where they had slept together for three years.

"You said you wouldn't tell me if you didn't go back for the New Year." Li Tang complained somewhat.

The satisfied ex-girlfriend looked up at the handsome face of her ex-boyfriend, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's very lively with the crew. I didn't tell you on purpose."

"What's there to be afraid of? My dad still talks about you a lot."

"I'm just afraid of this. Your father was so kind to me back then, how do you think I should face it now?"

"It's not because of your own guilty conscience, my dad won't blame you. Actually, it's not necessary, as long as you go home with me, my dad will understand what's going on!"

"Then I'll be even more ashamed."

That's right, it's been so many years since they broke up, but they still sleep together, it's really not easy to say.

The ex-girlfriend didn't want to mention this, so she changed the subject and said, "Hey, don't you take what I told you last time?"

"what's up?"

The ex-girlfriend pinched the soft flesh around his waist, rolled her eyes and said, "You did it on purpose!"

Sure enough, the older you get, the harder it is to cheat.

"Don't worry, I have already greeted Brother Ye's assistant Zhang Rong, she is in charge of casting."

"What about Director Lou Ye?" The ex-girlfriend asked worriedly.

"I haven't met him yet, what should I say? Don't worry, the casting hasn't started yet. I'll go to Shanghai Film Studio to look for him after I get to work in two days."

The preparatory team for "Purple Butterfly" was in the Shanghai Film Studio, and he was eager to meet Lou Ye.

The ex-girlfriend breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Who do you think the heroine will be?"

She had secretly read the script from Li Tang, and she had to say that Lou Ye's movies are always the heroine, one woman and three men, the heroine runs through the whole script.

She knew how much she weighed, and she didn't dare to hope for the role of the leading lady, but she was always curious in her heart.

"Hard to say."

Li Tang shook his head, the most popular young actresses in China today are the so-called "Four Little Huadans" selected by Nandu last year.

Li Tang immediately ruled out Little Swallow and Xu Jinglei. The former lacked acting skills, and the latter's temperament obviously did not match the characters in the script.And based on his understanding of Lou Ye, acting skills and character temperament are always the first.

The rest are Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun. If he were to choose, he would definitely choose Zhang Ziyi. She is popular enough and famous overseas. The key point is that Zhang Ziyi has a particularly desperate attitude in acting, which is similar to the character of the lead actress in the script. Very similar.The other is freshness. In a sense, the director is also a scumbag, and what he always pursues is freshness.

But the problem is that classmate Xiao Zhang has already entered Hollywood. It is said that the starting salary of the film is 100 million US dollars. With the current investment of "Purple Butterfly", he must not be able to afford it.Of course, "Hero" is a special case. Zhang Yimou, as the director who single-handedly brought her up, has human factors in it.

Then only Zhou Xun is left, who is also popular enough and has good acting skills. Compared with Xiao Zhang, the salary is not high.But she has already collaborated with herself on "Suzhou Creek" before, and it is not impossible to cooperate again. For example, Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung often cooperate together.

But Lou Ye is not Wang Jiawei after all, otherwise, when Li Tangmao recommended himself, he would not have hesitated and insisted on waiting until after the audition.

In addition, Li Tang had several phone calls with Zhou Xun several years ago, but Zhou Xun did not mention Lou Ye's new movie at all, which seemed unlikely.

It is rare for the ex-girlfriend to take a day off. The filming schedule of her crew is very tight, otherwise they would not have holidays during the Chinese New Year.And after they finished filming in Chedun Film and Television City, they are about to transfer to Hengdian for filming.

Today she took the initiative to call Li Tang, not only to inquire about news, but also to relieve physical and psychological pressure.

……

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, after Li Tang contacted Lou Ye's assistant Zhang Rong, he went straight to Shanghai Film Studio.

He is also a frequent visitor to the Shanghai Film Studio. When he appeared at the gate of the Shanghai Film Studio in his happy 90, the security guard at the gate raised the bar to let him pass without taking off his helmet for manual "face recognition." "of.It may be the only one that drives the Happy 90 into and out of the Shanghai Film Studio.

"Director Peng, happy new year!"

Now that he came to Shanghai Film Studio, according to the rules, he first visited director Peng Xiaolian.

In any case, director Peng Xiaolian is his bole. Although the movie "Shanghai Chronicle" received a mediocre response, it finally won him the Huabiao Film Newcomer Award and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor nomination, making him famous in the film circle. Stand firm.

"Hey, Li Tang, happy new year! Happy new year!"

Peng Xiaolian was also very happy to see Li Tang, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

There is also a girl in her early twenties sitting opposite her in her office, not like a visitor, but more like discussing work together.

Before Peng Xiaolian could introduce her, the little girl jumped up and exclaimed, "Wow, Li Tang! Uh... Teacher Li, I'm sorry, I'm so excited!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Tang hurriedly waved his hands.

Only then did Peng Xiaolian introduce: "This is Xu Mingxia, from the Chinese Department of Fudan University. The new film I am going to make this time is based on her work."

"Hey, it turned out to be Writer Xu, sorry for the disrespect!"

Li Tang was taken aback when he heard this. You must know that the biggest difference between fifth-generation directors like Peng Xiaolian and sixth-generation directors is that they are used to adapting scripts from literary works.This is also determined by the unique cultural background and social reality.

But the literary works that can catch their attention are generally famous works, such as Mo Yan, Yu Hua for Zhang Yimou, Wang Shuo, Liu Zhenyun for Feng Xiaogang.I didn't expect the work of the little girl in front of me to be taken by Director Peng, which is surprising.

Later, from Peng Xiaolian's introduction, Li Tang learned that this little girl was the winner of the first prize in the first National New Concept Composition Competition, and Director Peng adapted her award-winning composition this time——"Standing in Teenage Years" on the tail".

The one who won the first prize with this little girl is the now famous Han Han.It is precisely because of Han Han's fame that this so-called "National New Concept Composition Competition" is well known to Chinese people.

Today's Han Han is praised by the media as a "genius boy" and "a pioneer of the new generation born in the [-]s" because of controversial incidents such as dropping out of high school, learning is useless, and criticizing the current education system.

Li Tang didn't take this seriously. As someone who also came from high school, he knew very well the hardships of high school.

Han Han's so-called dropping out of school is more like an escape, and the so-called "study is useless" and "criticism of the education system" are nothing more than excuses for his escape.

Reading is very important, and it is terrible to be uneducated. These two sentences are really not nonsense.For example, if an actor has no culture and cannot understand the script, how can he create a character.More importantly, Han Han chose to drop out of school as a writer, and Li Tang really couldn't imagine what good works he would be able to write in the future.

Because the original work is just a composition, Li Tang also read this masterpiece with great interest.

This is a typical story that happened in Shanghai. Housing shortages, disputes over water bills, problems going abroad, divorce, etc., all reflect the living atmosphere of the lower-class people in Shanghai.

In Peng Xiaolian's words, this is a Shanghai version of "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin".One is the life of the bottom-level people in Tianjin, and the other is the life of the bottom-level people in Shanghai; so one is "having fun while doing nothing", and the other is "pretending not to feel it".

　I'm a little rushed to write today, sorry, let's make do with it.
