That's how I became famous

Chapter 701 Invitation to Song

The first batch of guests of Mushroom House left after lunch the next day.

Of course, I also helped earn 150 yuan in the morning.

Before they left, Li Xiao shook hands one by one to see them off, calling them good friends of Mushroom House.

The face of an adult is unmistakable.

At this time, Li Xiao looked at the middle-aged man with an elegant face, long hair in a shawl, a slightly thin figure, full of artistic atmosphere, feeling a little melancholy.

This is the second batch of guests, and they came at noon, when they just had dinner.

The middle-aged man's name is Yuan Shishan, who is a friend of Huang Lei and He Jiong. It is said that his main job is an author and his side job is a drama actor. They met in the same crew.

The reason why he was melancholy was that Li Xiao felt that this uncle was not capable of work at first sight.

When he ate, he ate slowly, everyone finished eating, and he was still eating calmly, so he could probably see something.

I was thinking yesterday that if I can maintain this kind of income every day, I can earn back the rent money by myself.

But think about it, it is impossible for the program group to invite so many young and strong guests every episode. The first day is just to let them taste the sweetness and hope to survive.

It is a dog!

Although Li Xiao could understand, he still wanted to curse.

If there are no other guests coming today, it is estimated that I will have to eat leftovers.

It seems that Yuan Shishan is really an artist. After lunch, the first batch of guests left. After eating slowly, he took out his camera and took pictures everywhere in the house, patting peacocks and puppies.

Have a great time playing, enjoy life and enjoy the mess.

Look, this is called realm!
Maybe Li Xiao watched it for too long, but Yuan Shishan finally noticed it. He smiled and said, "Li Xiao, do you know why flowers are beautiful but cow dung is not?"

Li Xiao looked confused and shook his head to express that he didn't know.

"Because the definition of beauty is given by human beings, but everyone's aesthetics are different, and what they think is beautiful is also different." Yuan Shishan seemed a little disappointed.

The environment is very good, the atmosphere is very good, a little bit disappointed, but not to disappoint, he continued to ask: "Most people think flowers are beautiful, but some people don't feel it. Do you think flowers are beautiful?" of?"

Are you sick in your mind? I'm only 19 years old. Are you discussing philosophy with me?

It's fine if you don't work, but you are still nagging, annoying!

Li Xiao said unhappily: "Since you said that some people think flowers are beautiful and some people don't, why do you still ask me this question?"

The meaning of the words is, whether I think it is beautiful or not, whether it looks good or not, is none of your business.

Yuan Shishan said with surprise on his face: "As expected, you still understand it very well."

"."

If this person was not an elder, or a friend of Huang Lei and He Jiong, Li Xiao probably would have scolded him on the spot.

Peng Peng and Feng Mei who were listening were also confused. Why is this person so weird?

"Lao Shan, come and taste the seedless watermelon from Mushroom House." He Jiong took out the iced watermelon from the kitchen and broke the topic.

Li Xiao's first reaction was to grab the watermelon and not give it to him
After all, Yuan Shishan still knew why he came here. Wen Qing returned to normal after his illness. After eating the watermelon, he volunteered to pick bananas with him.

But the luck was good, as soon as he walked out of the door, it rained heavily, the sky turned cloudy quickly, and there was lightning.

Come on, no more work.

Depending on the situation, the rain will not stop for a while, unlike the previous showers.

The rain lasted until night, and it didn't stop after the rain became lighter. It was pattering, and I couldn't do any work, but it was much cooler because of it.

Yuan Shishan was the only guest today, but he couldn't be blamed, he also wanted to work, so he might as well cook tonight's dinner, it's just that the weather is not good.

When I got up the next morning, the rain started to fall again. This time it was a shower, but it was too frequent, almost half an hour later, and the next half an hour, so that Li Xiao and the others came back wet from their morning run of.

If you don't have to worry about money, sitting under the gazebo, enjoying the rain scene, listening to the sound of the rain falling on the leaves and the ground, is really beautiful.

Yuan Shishan began to appreciate it, took a camera to take pictures of the rain scene, and took pictures of himself...

Li Xiao simply doesn't want to make money any more, the work will never be finished, so he just treats himself as God loves him and gives himself a vacation.

At this time, he really looked at Yuan Shishan blankly.

Yuan Shishan was not as calm and composed as he was yesterday. After all, he also watched the show, and the guests who came had to work. It seemed that he was the only one who ate and drank for free. As an adult with friends, he would naturally feel ashamed and uneasy.

He was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Li Xiao, his facial muscles twitched slightly, and asked with Yan: "Are you sleepy?"

Yuan Shishan felt that Li Xiao was expressing his dissatisfaction because he didn't work and didn't make any money.

It's not groundless, from yesterday afternoon to now, I have been hearing Li Xiao saying that he wants to go out to work, and go out to work in the rain, but was stopped by Huang Lei and He Jiong. What rent and electricity bills do you pay?

In Yuan Shishan's realm, he doesn't care about these things, but Li Xiao, who is nagging about trivial life, is a bit like his mother and his wife.
That was the most difficult year for him to fight for his dream. More than ten years have passed, and the nagging of his mother and wife still lingers in his ears, and the scene of the conversation is vivid in his memory.

Let him reflect on me three times a day, and swear that he will never be bothered by this trifle again.

But nagging is nagging, his mother and wife still support him in chasing his dreams, but life is trivial and annoying, so he can't help but complain.

It is also because of this that Li Xiao is not eccentric, and insinuating that he does not work and eats rice. He can hear that Li Xiao is really just worried.

One thing I really don't understand is why such a young age is so annoying, no, thinking so long-term
Facing Yuan Shishan's concern, Li Xiao shook his head and stared at him with burning eyes, "Teacher Yuan, besides novelist and drama actor, do you have other jobs?"

"Ok?"

Yuan Shishan was too embarrassed to mention the purpose of coming here, at least he would not mention it in person, and he would not appear too forced.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiao took the initiative to mention it. He looked at Huang Lei and He Jiong. They were indeed good friends who had known each other for many years. They were loyal enough. They must have said it for him in private!

"Yes." Yuan Shishan nodded.

"Fuck, really?"

Li Xiao suddenly exclaimed, his face full of curiosity and amazement.

"Really!" Yuan Shishan confirmed again.

"No wonder I think your name is very interesting, so you are really a Taoist priest."

Li Xiao was amazed, he didn't expect that there was another bastard in the circle
"What Taoist priest?" It was Yuan Shishan's turn to be confused.

"It's okay, Mr. Yuan, you didn't promote any idea, so it won't have any impact even if you broadcast it on TV." Li Xiao smiled and signaled him not to worry.

A high-profile "martial arts master" made a lot of noise on the Internet, but it didn't cause any problems, and a low-key Taoist priest would naturally be fine.

"What and what?" Yuan Shishan became more and more puzzled.

Seeing the same expressions of Huang Lei and He Jiong on the side, the three of them have been friends for many years. If Yuan Shishan practiced Taoism, it is impossible for the two of them not to know.

Only then did Li Xiao realize that he had made an oolong, and immediately said that Yuan Shishan went to wash up last night, but the suitcase was not pulled up, and inside he could see a navy blue Taoist robe and a Bagua compass.

Yuan Shishan explained with some amusement: "I just finished filming my first movie, so I took a few things as souvenirs."

It's not a Taoist priest. Li Xiao gave an "oh" in a lack of interest, and was not interested in continuing to ask.

This made Yuan Shishan embarrassed, and he didn't intend to say anything, but when he talked about this, he felt sorry for himself if he didn't say it, and he felt that he was not polite enough if he said it.

Stuck in the middle without going up or down, it is very uncomfortable.

Huang Lei and He Jiong glanced at each other and nodded at each other. The former said, "Lao Shan, how does it feel to be a director for the first time?"

Oh, it turned out that they were still traveling together, and Li Xiao was listening.

Hearing this, Yuan Shishan smiled wryly and said: "I don't feel very good, and I can be considered to have realized the difficulty of this identity. A crew of hundreds of people is too difficult to control. Some imaginary scenes have not been restored."

Yuan Shishan's feelings were very deep, and the bitterness continued: "Actors are a big problem. There is a fortress here, and there is a fortress there. There is no way at all. The funds are not sufficient. It is too uncomfortable to be filmed behind the scenes!"

"Actors? Which one?" Li Xiao asked curiously.

Huang Lei and He Jiong patted him at the same time, brat, do you want to break the casserole and ask the end of this matter?
Li Xiao chuckled, but didn't ask any questions. Yuan Shishan also complained, but didn't continue.

But he is quite bold, he dared to expose these things in the show as a director for the first time.

"What's the name of Laoshan's movie?" He Jiong wanted to promote it to him.

"The filming of "The Legend of Daoshan" has just been finished, and I started the post-production when I went back. I don't know when it will be released." Yuan Shishan understood He Jiong's meaning.

"The Legend of Daoshan, right?"

Huang Lei smiled: "It's okay, anyway, as long as our show is aired earlier than your movie, it will be effective. I don't know how much."

Yuan Shishan's original intention was not to promote the movie. The movie was filmed in Caiyun Province, and he came when he received the invitation. He just wanted to catch up with his friends. Of course, there was another purpose for this trip that he hadn't the nerve to say.

At this time, both Huang Lei and He Jiong had talked about this part, and if they didn't say it, they were just ignorant.

Yuan Shishan hesitated for a moment and said, "Li Xiao, I would like to ask you for a favor this time."

"What are you busy with?"

"It's like this. I still need a song for this movie. I heard the theme song you wrote for the TV series last time and liked it very much, so I think you are very suitable. Of course, this is not urgent. I will I'll send you the script, and I'll show you the finished film when it comes out. If you have time, inspiration, and interest, please do so." Yuan Shishan finished speaking sincerely.

"Okay, but you also need to contact others. No one can guarantee such things as inspiration."

Li Xiao thought for a while, but he didn't refuse face to face, nor did he directly agree.

Everything has to be watched as a movie, if it's too bad, he won't sell this favor.

If the quality is acceptable, it depends on whether there are suitable songs.

Yuan Shishan nodded. Writing a song is a matter of inspiration, and this is a customized model, so the restrictions are even greater.

Although he liked Li Xiao a lot and had the greatest expectations for Li Xiao, he would not only find one person to invite him to sing.

You can't put all your eggs in one basket. This is irresponsible for the film. After Yuan Shishan left, he would invite other people to sing. For this reason, he did not hesitate to pay for it himself.

Although Li Xiao's answer was a bit perfunctory, it was still a promise. Yuan Shishan wanted to talk to him, "After you start filming, will there be any actors who are very good at acting?"

"It won't."

Li Xiao shook his head: "The actors are all chosen by myself, and they are all the best candidates in my mind."

It's not about the scene, the main actors are all chosen by themselves.

There are not many roles in some roles, and their characteristics are not clear, so whoever plays them is the best candidate.

I'm jealous!
Yuan Shishan showed an envious expression. He picked the male and female leads, but the two main supporting roles were stuffed in by the management.

"What about the funds? Will it be found that the budget is exceeded in the middle of the filming?"

After talking, Yuan Shishan felt that his mind was really muddled. He was investing in his own movie.

But what Li Xiao said next surprised him, "Yes, I did it three or four times when filming "The Witch".

He pays attention to the best in everything and needs the best results. It is not uncommon for him to be nagged by Yu Cai for exceeding the budget.

"Oh, this is really difficult. You have to think about everything when you shoot, and there are too many restrictions."

Insufficient money was the biggest pain in Yuan Shishan's heart when he became a director for the first time. The front was better than expected, but the back was really tightened. He had to worry about the cost every day, and his hands were tied.

"I think it's okay." Li Xiao disagreed.

"Okay?" Yuan Shishan frowned.

The most important thing in making a movie is the director, actors, and script?
No, the most important thing is money!
No money to make a chicken feather movie.

I can't even afford a box lunch!

If you have money, you don't have to worry about finding good actors. If you don't shoot for 1000 million, what about 5000 million, [-] million, or [-] million?
There are not many good actors, and there are not many, and the right one will always be found.

Yuan Shishan asked again: "Then how do you deal with this kind of problem?"

Seeing Li Xiao's confident appearance, he wondered if he was suffering because of his inexperience, maybe it was really okay?Can you source it from elsewhere?

Li Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Increase the budget."

Asking this kind of question, Li Xiao didn't even want to answer it.

Nonsense, if you don’t have enough money, just add more money!

Li Xiao didn't understand his difficulties, and he didn't encounter the situation of no money to add. The method he thought of was very simple, but it was also the most direct and effective.

I can go to yours!

Who has money and does not know that the budget is not enough, so the budget will be increased?

It's like I'm rich...

Yuan Shishan closed his mouth, feeling a little sour in his heart.

I just feel that the pattering rain seems to be crying for something.
