"Crack!"

"No. Liu Huaqiang wouldn't do that."

Director Gao Qunshu had his back to the door and did not see Tang Wen coming in.

"What do you think is wrong, Director Gao?"

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Gao Qunshu turned around and recognized him at a glance: "Hey, Mr. Tang! Sorry, I didn't see you."

"Nothing. The plot is stuck?"

Gao Qunshu quickly explained: "In the scene where Liu Huaqiang was fighting Feng Biao, he rushed in with three guns to control the situation and forced Feng Biao to kneel down. It felt a little off when filmed this way."

Tang Wen flipped through the script and said, "Add a paragraph and have Liu Huaqiang hand the gun to Feng Biao..."

Director Gao Qunshu polished this plot many times.

After listening to Tang Wen's advice, I suddenly felt enlightened.

After all, he is a Golden Lion Award-winning director!
Why didn't I think of that?
"Quick, everyone, get ready, and shoot according to Director Tang's instructions!"

Half an hour later, famous scenes such as "I gave you chances but you were useless" and "Feng Biao kneeled down and called me master" were born one after another.

After finishing the filming, Tang Wen ordered food at the hotel and treated the entire crew to a meal.

From the leading actors to the production staff, even several extras all had positions.

"Thank you Director Tang"

"Thank you Mr. Tang"

Tang Wen sat at the same table with the director and the leading actor.

On the table was a local liquor, Lao Bai Gan.

Produced in an urban area with a particularly famous middle school.

Gao Qunshu sat down on Tang Wen’s left, with Li Xiaoran on his right.

Except for Sun Honglei, everyone else was somewhat reserved.

After all, Tang Wen is both a big boss and a Golden Lion director.

The people present here are far from him in status.

"Six tables were set up, and the extras were also seated. Director Tang is very generous!" Gao Qunshu praised.

Tang Wen smiled and said, "It's because our crew is small. You can shoot A Million Heroes Crossing the Yangtze River next time. Do you think I'll invite you?"

"Hahahaha"

With a simple joke, the actors' restraint was greatly reduced.

Director Tang is so young and successful, but he doesn't have any arrogance at all, which is really amazing.

In fact, there are many people who became famous at a young age in the circle, but I have never seen anyone inviting extras to drink.

Toasting is an indispensable part of meals.

The woman next to Gao Qunshu, Liu Weiwei, who played Li Mei, was the first to stand up with a cup in her hand.

When the two parties were discussing the collaboration, Gao Qunshu said he wanted to bring a female actress into the crew.

This is Liu Weiwei.

Tang Wen happily drank two cups with her.

When Sun Honglei toasted him, he only drank one.

Sun Honglei was unwilling: "Director Tang, you can't drink more with beautiful women and drink less with me, right? You didn't do that the last time you drank."

Tang Wen waved his hand and said, "Last time, I was a rookie director and I didn't dare to refuse your wine. Now that I've won the Golden Lion, my status has risen. If I say I don't want to drink, then I don't have to."

Everyone roared with laughter.

Sun Honglei also laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

Director Tang keeps mentioning the Golden Lion, but it doesn’t seem offensive at all.

On the contrary, I think he is real and humorous!
Liu Weiwei looked at Li Xiaoran with envy.

I thought that at such a young age, I had figured out how to get close to a director, and that I was already far ahead of other actresses of my generation.

I didn't expect that Li Xiaoran would directly take down his own boss.

Not only is he young and handsome, he is also rich and has a high status.

Which actress wouldn’t be envious after seeing this?

Thinking back to when she first joined the group and was wary of Li Xiaoran, Li Weiwei smiled self-deprecatingly.

Tang Wen doesn't want to drink today.

I thought that I had signed Li Dabai into the company a long time ago.

As a result, after so much time, I still haven't eaten the peach.

I won’t drink too much today!

Sun Honglei is the most famous one, and he didn't even drink the wine, so naturally the other actors had nothing to say.

In the second half, Gao Qunshu, under the influence of alcohol, asked:
"Director Tang, is our play going to sell well on TV?"

Although he did not invest any money, the success or failure of this play still affects his future.

This is his transition work from documentary to TV series.

If I can’t sell it, I’ll just have to go back to making documentaries.

Tang Wen understood his concerns.

"Conquest" portrays gangster characters realistically and vividly.

The main point of view is on the gangster boss Liu Huaqiang, the subject matter is sensitive, and there are no big-name actors. The TV station may have concerns.

Tang Wen patted Director Gao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this movie has investment from China Film Group, we'll let them sell the film when the time comes."

Good guy!
And this kind of operation?

The actors looked at each other.

Director Gao was stunned and reminded: "From the source of funds, the money all came from Blue Star Entertainment. I didn't see China Film Group transfer the money?"

"Very thoughtful. It's okay. We can just sign a contract with China Film Group and let them take the money."

Gao Qunshu: ...You are the real boss.

It’s not that Tang Wen insists on sharing profits with China Film.

Instead, Blue Star Entertainment used it to sell the film. Not to mention all the social engagements, the sensitive subject matter meant that it might not be sold.

China Film Group’s performance is completely different.

With their endorsement, many concerns of the TV station can be dispelled.

There is no need to ask male and female actors to accompany the drinking.

We drank until around eleven o'clock and then everyone dispersed.

Tang Wen and Li Xiaoran returned to the hotel.

"Is it necessary to open another one for me?"

"What if your good sisters come to check on you?"

"Oh! Would I be afraid of them?"

Li Xiaoran gave him a coquettish look and handed over her room card: "I'm going to go back and take a shower. You should take a shower quickly too."

"Let's save water together." At this moment, Tang Wen is a staunch environmentalist.

"Next time, give me 20 minutes."

It takes 20 minutes for a woman to take a shower, which is really short.

Tang Wen looked down at his watch and immediately began to count down: "19 minutes 59, 58, 57..."

"Virtue!" Li Xiaoran brought a gust of fragrance and went into the next room.

Take off your clothes and take a shower, 7 minutes and 30 seconds.

Tang Wen looked at his watch, opened the door of the next room, and walked into Li Xiaoran's room.

I only heard a pretended cold voice saying:

"Student Tang Wen! You are trying to contradict the teacher. I will expel you!"

Snapped!
Li Xiaoran took the ruler and tapped it lightly on his palm.

She had her hair tied up in a bun, a common hairstyle among Tokyo women. She wore gold-rimmed glasses on her fair nose, a pure white professional suit, her beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings, and a pair of burgundy high heels on her feet.

Cold and noble, dignified and elegant.

Like a top-notch teacher who studied abroad in Tokyo and mastered some superb teaching skills and returned!

Tang Wen was instantly immersed in the role: "Teacher Xiaoran, how could you fire me? Besides, I have always been firm in my demands on you..."

Da da da!

Seeing his rebuttal, Li Xiaoran stepped forward.

But the high heels were too high, and every step she took was trembling, yet full of momentum.

Tang Wen swallowed his saliva. Seeing how hard it was for her to walk, he could no longer bear it and took the initiative to help the teacher lighten her burden...

Teacher Xiaoran woke up from a deep sleep and had the illusion that she had drunk too much.

After a few minutes, I came to my senses.

Gradually I remembered what happened.

"Wake up and eat something."

Tang Wen walked in from outside carrying food.

"I have said hello to Director Gao. You have other work recently, so please join the team in a few days."

Li Xiaoran blushed and asked angrily, "What kind of job do I have?"

"Of course it's teaching!"

"Ah! Stop, stop talking."

Thinking of all the absurd things that happened last night, she covered her ears and buried her head in the quilt.

The two of them stayed at home for several days and were so happy that they didn't want to leave.

That day, Robert called:

"The chairman of the jury of the Tokyo Film Festival is Norman Jewison."

Tang Wen frowned when his good deeds were interrupted. No matter who he was, he could just do the public relations.

"People are difficult to deal with?"

"In a sense, yes." Robert suppressed his laughter and said, "He said that the Best Actress trophy will not be sold separately. He will bundle it with the Best Picture Golden Unicorn Award and sell it to you together!"

The Golden Kylin Award, also known as the Sakura Award.

It is the highest award of the Tokyo International Film Festival.

"Oh, this is a bundled sale!"
