Chapter 236 235, Threat
The fried dumplings were stuffed with pork and green onions, and what was even more pleasing was that vermicelli was added to them, which whetted Sun Hao's appetite even though he hadn't had breakfast, and he ate a plate and a half in one go.
"Sun Hao, are you still eating?"
Li Baotian's wife Hu Ying also teaches at the Central Academy of Drama. She is elegant and intellectual, and her smile has a motherly flavor.
However, before Sun Hao could say anything, Li Baotian, who hadn't taken off his apron until now, frowned.
"You still let him eat?
Don't you see how much this guy has eaten? The three of us can't eat that much in the morning."
Uh...
Looking at Hu Shui who had just woken up, and then looking at Li Baotian's beloved son Li Yu, Sun Hao was a little embarrassed. Yes, he did eat a lot recently.
At this time, Li Baotian spoke again.
"Sun Hao, tell me!
What did you come to our house for today?
You can't just take two boxes of milk in exchange for a meal of fried dumplings?!"
It is rumored in the industry that although Li Baotian is good at acting, he speaks too directly, doesn't know how to adapt, and is very easy to offend people.
Today, it is true!
Of course, Sun Hao, who was well prepared, would not take it to heart. This person is just like this. Although he speaks harshly, he is definitely a good person.
"Hehe..."
Sun Hao smiled and explained his purpose directly.
"Teacher Li, to be honest, I came here this time to invite you to act?"
"What play?" At the dinner table, Li Baotian's children Hu Shui and Li Yu were curious at the same time.
"Well..., the title of the play has not been determined, but it is a rural play; the plot has not been finalized, but the actors have been confirmed. Now all that is missing is Teacher Baotian's nod."
Who knew that Li Baotian's face had turned cold just after Sun Hao finished speaking.
"Sun Hao..."
"Hmm?"
"Last night, our family of four went to see a movie. We watched your work "Source Code". It felt very good and creative!
I even wanted to use my identity as a teacher at the Central Academy of Drama to bring Li Yu, who wants to be a director, to our school to do some film screenings, so that he can learn your shooting techniques.
But even so, you can't come here early in the morning to fool me, right?"
"Uh..., what do you mean?" Sun Hao didn't quite understand.
"What do you mean..., haha, Sun Hao, you studied at the Central Academy of Drama for three years, I don't believe you don't know the rules of my acting." At this time, Li Baotian took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff, not caring at all that the girl, son and daughter-in-law were sitting next to him.
Sun Hao still knew the rules of Li Baotian's acting. Especially before coming here this morning, the head teacher, Teacher Chang Li, had repeatedly explained...
Before filming, if the script is not good, he will not act. Even if he only has a dozen shots, Comrade Li Baotian must read the entire script.
During the filming process, if he found that the script was not good, he had to modify it according to his opinion.
After the filming, Comrade Li Baotian also needed to have certain editing rights, that is, when editing certain scenes, he had to obtain his consent.
Seeing that Sun Hao did not speak for a long time, Li Baotian took another deep puff of cigarette, tapped the table with his fingers, and said:
"Sun Hao, whether you say I am a drama tyrant or a bully, the rules of my acceptance of the play cannot be changed."
"Well..., Teacher Baotian, let's put it this way!" Sun Hao finally spoke this time.
"As a director and screenwriter, I will not let go of the right to change the script, the right to choose the actors, and the right to edit after the film is completed.
And if you really participate in it, you only have the right to make suggestions. As for whether to listen or not in the end, it depends on my decision."
"Then what are we still talking about, let's go quickly, whoever you want to find can find you?"
After a disagreement, Li Baotian stood up from his seat and drove people away, and his two children did not even dare to breathe. It seems that this old artist is used to being arbitrary at home.
But Sun Hao still sat there.
"Eight years ago, Ning Province established a Diaozhuang base and called on farmers in Xiji to migrate and relocate. But the desert conditions were too harsh, and half of the villagers who moved there left the next day.
Ma Defu, who had just graduated from a technical secondary school, used all means to mobilize everyone to go to Diaozhuang and help the villagers stay.
Three years ago, the Party Central Committee made a strategic deployment to promote the east-west counterpart cooperation, which determined Fujian Province..."
Sun Hao spoke slowly and calmly, just like a teacher who had been in the profession for many years giving a lecture on the podium.
The four people in front of him, including Li Baotian who had been angry just now, all listened carefully.
When Hu Shui, who was still in high school, heard that there was something he didn't understand, he wanted to raise his hand to ask a question, but he held it back.
It wasn't too long, about 20 minutes, and Sun Hao finally stopped his story.
"This is the first two episodes I have planned so far. If Mr. Baotian is interested in the role of Ma Hanshui, then at 2 o'clock this afternoon, bring your ID card and we will meet at the school gate, and then take a plane to Yinachuan.
You and other actors will experience life in a rural area in the northwest for three months.
But what if you are not interested..."
Hearing Sun Hao's story, Li Baotian was actually moved, because the first four movies and several English novels written by Sun Hao have fully demonstrated his strong screenwriting ability.
This is obvious to all in the domestic film and television industry, not to mention that this TV series, which has not yet been named, is closely linked to the theme of the times, praising the spirit of poor farmers fighting against the sky and the earth under the leadership of the party.
But why did Sun Hao's next words, which he hadn't finished yet, contain a hint of threat?
Thinking of this, Li Baotian was a little unhappy.
"Sun Hao, if I'm not interested, what do you want to do?
Want to threaten your teacher?
Although I haven't taught you, but ah, a few words from me still have a certain weight in our school."
"Haha..." Sun Hao laughed, got up and walked to the door, opened the door, turned back and said:
"Teacher Baotian, this is what I think, if you are not interested in the role of Ma Hanshui, then I won't bother you, and change another respected actor to play.
But what?
After the filming of the TV series is completed, I will write in the cast that Comrade Li Baotian resolutely resigned from the role of Ma Hanshui, saying that if he wants to play, he will play the son Ma Defu, because he prefers the role of a young man..."
"Puff, haha..."
Before Sun Hao finished speaking, Hu Ying, Hu Shui, and Li Yu burst into laughter. Li Baotian was so angry that he trembled and walked around the dining table, wanting to "chase" Sun Hao, but Sun Hao immediately closed the door and fled.
………
After coming down from upstairs, Sun Hao immediately took out his mobile phone, found a phone number and dialed it.
"Brother He Bing?"
"Yes, I'm Sun Hao. Do you have time during the National Day holiday?"
"If I have time, I plan to take you to the northwest of the motherland. Yes, I'll leave this afternoon."
"Oh, by the way, you'd better contact Sister Chen Xiaoyi. I plan to invite her to play a female county magistrate in this TV series."
"Oh, Sister Xiaoyi is pregnant, so please help me contact Sister Jiang Shan."
