Chapter 233 The Private Investigator Who Catches Xiaosan
Although he has to learn the Bashu language, Li Yi is still very excited.
He looked at the script of "The Unknown Man" and knew that this niche movie would be a hit.
The plot of this movie revolves around a robbery case and is divided into several clues.
Two low-profile robbers and a disabled woman with a tough personality and a vicious tongue.
A down-and-out security guard who wants to be a co-op.
A real estate owner who owes money and wants to run away with his sister-in-law.
They are ordinary people, all living beings, but they have different pursuits and different living conditions, and they all live for the beautiful seeds in their hearts to sprout.
The literal meaning of the movie title "The Unknown Man" is: from beginning to end, this person has no highlights worth mentioning; from birth to ashes is just the transformation process from organic matter to inorganic matter.
Maybe it's a bit heavy-handed, but it's true.
Unknown people are everywhere in society. From the perspective of the audience, they are full of laughter. They have humorous dialects and are particularly funny when they curse.
This movie can be said to have no cost at all!
The main theme of the whole plot is that these people have been raped by life.
Just like the two male protagonists in the movie, they originally wanted to become big and strong and become robbers, but because of the cowardice and incompetence of small people, they only grabbed a model mobile phone from the mobile phone store next to the bank.
In the end, it was edited into a funny video by netizens and broadcast as news.
Li Yi put away the script, and he wanted to personally supervise the production and filming of this movie, creating his first work of his own.
For this kind of in-depth, low-cost, and blockbuster movie, it is definitely suitable for me to enter the director circle.
But in terms of money, he still needs to think of a way.
After all, it’s really unbearable to make a movie by myself.
Li Yi walked out of the room and prepared to put on shoes.
Song Yingying was leaning on the sofa and saw Li Yi wanting to go out, so she asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'll go to Huayi Company and look for Sister Fen. Do you want to go?" Li Yi asked.
When Song Yingying heard this, she shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, I'd better watch the drama and become a senior otaku."
Li Yi went out and came to Huayi Building.
As soon as they entered the company, the employees immediately became excited.
"Brother Yi is here, Brother Yi is here!"
Xinmei immediately came to Li Yi and said, "Brother Yi, your song "Someone Like Me" is so nice, isn't it?"
Shuqin clicked her tongue: "The new song sung by Brother Yi must be good."
"That's right. I sang it after all." After a few jokes with them, Li Yi went to find Zhang Manfen.
Zhang Manfen was busy registering something. When she saw Li Yi coming, she said, "Why don't you rest at home? Don't you have a competition next week?"
"It's okay, it doesn't matter." Li Yi came to Zhang Manfen and looked at the report on her table.
Zhang Manfen thought he wanted resources again, so she said: "Your "Myth" hasn't started filming yet, so we haven't prepared resources for you yet."
"Yes, but after all, the project of "The Myth" has been established for so long, why don't you rush to start filming?" Li Yi asked Zhang Manfen.
Zhang Manfen hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Li Yi was confused, she had no choice but to say truthfully: "Actually, the crew of "The Myth" can start filming long ago."
"Ah?" Li Yi was incredulous.
"Yes, it just happened that you accepted the variety show "Singer", and then Director Jiang said that we should wait until you finish the competition before turning it on."
Zhang Manfen explained: "Generally speaking, if a large production crew like "The Myth" is not filming for one day, it will cost tens of thousands of yuan."
Li Yi was speechless: "Sister Fen, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhang Manfen shrugged, "Originally I wanted to tell you, but Director Jiang said that this variety show can increase your popularity, so he treated it as an early investment for "Myth", so he didn't plan to tell you."
When Li Yi heard this, he felt that the favor was too great, so he said: "The filming location of "The Myth" is also in Hengdian, so we might as well start filming tomorrow. I've read the script thoroughly, so there's no problem."
"But your game" Zhang Manfen was a little worried.
Li Yi made an OK gesture, "Don't worry, I will compete as usual in the competition and shoot the scenes as usual. At worst, I just need to sleep less at night."
After hearing this, Zhang Manfen sighed: "It's also my fault. I thought you could develop in two directions, but I ignored your time schedule."
"What are you talking about, Sister Fen? I didn't pay attention. It doesn't matter. I'll tell Director Jiang right now."
Li Yi then picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Jiajun's number.
When he explained the purpose of his visit, Director Jiang was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone.
In the end, he agreed to Li Yi's suggestion.
Not long after, Director Jiang sent a shocking message to the crew’s WeChat group: ["Myth" will officially start shooting tomorrow!]
Many people sent congratulatory emoticons.
But there are also other people asking: [Isn’t Brother Yi still going to compete? 】
Li Yi explained in the group: [I'm sorry, I kept everyone waiting for a long time. It doesn't matter. I can film the movie first. When I wait for the competition, I will take a day off and go to Mango TV to sing. 】
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone admired it.
【This is too tiring, Brother Yi.】
【Brother Yi is awesome!】
Brother Cheng Long replied: [Young man, you are motivated!]
Huge posted many emoticons: [Come on.jpg!]
Early the next morning, Li Yi came to Hengdian early to gather with the crew and others.
As soon as the crew saw Li Yi, they immediately said: "Director Jiang, Li Yi is here."
Jiang Jiajun stood up from the monitor and walked towards Li Yi.
"Hello, Li Yi, I am Lao Jiang, and I welcome you on behalf of the "Myth" crew."
Jiang Jiajun speaks gently and elegantly, with the demeanor of a master.
Li Yi said respectfully: "Hello, Director Jiang."
At the same time, Hu Ge also came over, "Li Yi, I am your fan!"
Li Yi turned around and saw that handsome face. Unexpectedly, Hu Ge from close range was so handsome, "Brother, you are just kidding me. I am your fan."
"Everyone in our crew listened to your song last week." Hu Ge then asked the staff behind him, "Do you think it sounds good?"
"That sounds great!" the staff all agreed.
Li Yi said modestly: "Thank you, thank you all."
At this time, Brother Cheng Long came over from the rest shed. He looked at Li Yi and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, I sang twice. Remember to sing my song "True Hero" next time!"
"No need to sing next time, just sing now!"
Li Yi sang directly: "Seize every minute of your life~"
All of a sudden, he led everyone in the audience to sing.
Brother Cheng Long was very happy and sang along.
It only took one song for the crew's atmosphere to go from unfamiliar to familiar.
Afterwards, Director Jiang briefly talked about the precautions for the filming of "The Myth", and without further ado, directly announced that today's filming has officially begun!
The first scene in the script is about Hu Ge.
He plays Yi Xiaochuan, a photographer who drives to the wild to take pictures, but accidentally stumbles into the camp of a group of tomb robbers.
This scene was very simple, and Hu Ge, as a professional actor, passed it easily.
The next step is the rivalry between Li Yi and Hu Ge.
Seeing that they were all ready, Jiang Jiajun shouted: "Every department is ready!"
"The first scene of the second act begins!"
As soon as the play started, Hu Ge came to the off-road vehicle and prepared to get on.
As a result, Li Yi stretched out his head from the rear of the car and said angrily: "Xiaochuan! Bullying Gao Lan! Please make it clear!"
He held the pot and spoon in his hand and knocked it towards Hu Ge.
Hu Ge was startled and immediately ran around the car: "Hey, why are you feeding me?"
Li Yi followed him and dug hard: "Why are you bullying Gao Lan!"
"I didn't bully her!"
"I didn't bully her, why are you crying with me!"
Jiang Jiajun watched the rivalry between the two on the monitor and asked the aerial camera to extend the lens: "Quick, zoom out! Quick!"
Li Yi kept circling the car, "She called me all day long to tell me that you were having sex with other women! What did our Gao family do to make you feel sorry for you!"
The camera followed Li Yi's lead and quickly moved across the guide rail.
Jiang Jiajun watched the scenes between the two and couldn't help but sigh: "The acting skills of these two are really good. I don't need to say anything more."
Brother Cheng Long sat next to him and nodded: "Yes, I think the spicy Li Yi is quite good. He has a work in "Wolf Warrior" before. I saw it and he is a tough guy."
"Yes." Jiang Jiajun said with a smile: "There are not many young freshmen nowadays who dare to take photos so hard."
"I heard from his agent that Li Yi didn't want to delay our filming dates and felt that he owed us too much, so he would rather work harder himself and let the crew of "Myth" take care of the filming."
Brother Cheng Long listened to what Director Jiang said and couldn't help but nodded: "It's really good."
After a day of filming, Li Yi didn't feel tired.
After all, I don't have many roles ahead of me, only three acts at most.
On the way back, he asked Song Yingying at home: "Would you like to buy some snacks?"
When Song Yingying heard that there were snacks, she hurriedly said: "The more, the merrier!"
So, Li Yi asked Liu Hong to drive to a shopping mall.
Because there were too many people in the mall, Li Yi asked Liu Hong to buy some snacks for him.
While he was waiting for Liu Hong in the car, a familiar figure appeared again.
Li Yi looked at the woman wearing a floral skirt and long curly hair outside the window, and wondered: "Qiao Ling?"
I saw her carrying a small bag and walking lightly towards a restaurant.
In order to find out who she was going to meet, Li Yi decided to act as a private detective to catch the mistress.
He put on his hat and sunglasses, pulled up his collar, walked out of the car, and followed Qiao Ling.
And Li Yi guessed correctly, Qiao Ling did walk into the restaurant, chose a seat by the window and sat down.
In order not to attract attention, Li Yi chose a corner position.
As soon as he sat down, the waiter asked: "What would you like, sir?"
"Is there anything delicious?" Li Yi kept staring in Qiao Ling's direction while talking.
The waiter enthusiastically introduced: "Our signature dishes here are curry beef brisket, pickled seabass, cuttlefish glue fried dough sticks, and cheese baked wild mushrooms. I recommend you try them all."
"Okay, then get me a bottle of Coke first and let me think about it."
