After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 11 The Joy of Freeloading

"It's 28." Li Mingyang looked at the number on the ATM and laughed.

This money is Li Mingyang's salary plus "hardship fee".

In addition to the savings, there is more than 50,000 yuan in the bag, which is enough for the next half month's expenses.

Li Mingyang doesn’t care what Youku will do next.

Since he decided to shoot the loser man, Li Mingyang decided to shoot it well.

Due to the rush work and secret filming in the early stages, the Diaosi Man has completed most of the scenes, leaving only the stories of the bedroom, living room and office.

The office and school are on holiday now, so there is some ready-made cigarettes. Two packs of cigarettes will do the trick.

You have to rent a house for the bedroom and living room.

Took a walk outside the school.

A deposit of one month is required for renting a house off-campus, and the minimum lease period is six months. The deposit will not be refunded if you move out early.

Li Mingyang didn't want to waste this money and wanted to get it for free.

The most ideal choice would naturally be Dayun's family, but he was unwilling to do so, even if he was offered money.

"Hey, Sister Yang, are your parents home... at home! That's fine... It's nothing, I just want to use your house to film a movie, since your uncle and aunt are here, it's fine..."

"go to hell!"

beep...

Li Mingyang touched his ears. Yang Mi's voice was so loud that it hurt his ears a little.

"Mingyang, why bother? You make a lot of money." Zhang Ruoyun said speechlessly.

"A two-bedroom apartment that meets the requirements costs two thousand a month!"

"Dajun, don't let him mess around, just go to your house."

"That's right! If he continues to do this, our class will lose all face because of him."

"It's not that I don't want to lend it, it's just that I seldom go home." Zhang Ruoyun said with a sigh.

Li Mingyang knew Zhang Ruoyun's family affairs better than he did. According to calculations, his father would remarry his stepmother next year, and then in a few years, his father would find him a "sister" stepmother.

Other second-generation stars all cheated their fathers, but he was the only one who was cheated by his father.

After looking around for people, most of them were unwilling to lend their houses to me. There were some who were willing to lend their houses, but they were all rented outside and were old, run-down and small, so they were not really suitable.

Zhong Xiaoyu lives in an apartment with three girls living in a 15-square-meter bedroom...

Just when Li Mingyang made up his mind to rent a house, Xiao Yang called.

Xiao Yang is a graduate of the Fine Arts Department of Beijing Film Academy in 01. He studied fine arts, but he really likes acting.

When Li Mingyang was preparing for Goodbye Jinhua Station, he happened to see him eating in the school cafeteria and invited him to play the male lead in Goodbye Jinhua Station. The two sides hit it off immediately.

Later, after Jinhua Station became popular on Tudou.com, Xiao Yang disappeared, and he didn’t show up when I called him and didn’t reply to his messages.

"Hey."

"Director Li! I heard you were filming a movie."

"Ah."

"Director Li, I want to film a movie."

Li Mingyang thought for a moment and asked, "Where do you live? Is it far from Beijing Film Academy?"

"Not far away, in Danfeng Community."

"How many rooms?"

"Two bedrooms and one living room."

"Send me the address, I'll buy some food and drinks, and we'll have a drink at noon."

"okay."

Half an hour later, Li Mingyang came to Xiao Yang's residence carrying half a roast chicken and two bottles of beer. The place was big enough, the decoration was also okay, and most importantly, it was clean.

The two of them drank three glasses of beer.

Two bottles of beer are gone.

Xiao Yang took out six bottles of ice-cold beer from the refrigerator.

After drinking for a while and finishing the roast chicken, Li Mingyang asked Xiao Yang if he could lend him the house for a few days of filming.

Xiao Yang naturally agreed.

Just like that, a two-bedroom house was available and an actor of Oscar-level status was also created.

……

Xiao Yang is good at acting, singing, directing, screenwriting... very versatile.

Li Mingyang really wanted to cooperate with him at first, but this guy ran away as soon as he became famous, which really surprised him.

With the addition of Xiao Yang, the effect of Diaosi Men is even more outstanding.

Li Mingyang even thought about letting Xiao Yang replace Zhang Ruoyun to play the role of Dapeng. However, this idea only flashed through his mind.

At lunch, Xiao Yang saw Zhang Wei leaving and asked Zhang Ruoyun, "Dayun, doesn't Director Li use the clapboard when filming?"

"He edits it himself, so it doesn't matter whether he hits the board or not."

That's different!

The purpose of the clapperboard is to provide a "click" sound point for the sound track in the camera and the separately recorded sound track. This sound point can be used to synchronize the two sound tracks during post-editing, thereby achieving synchronization of sound and picture.

Of course, hitting the board is not necessary.

There was a clapping sound, which would have been fine as a sound point for convenient synchronization, but he clapped for the whole morning and didn't hear any clapping sound, or Li Mingyang calling out "Cut!"

Xiao Yang took a bite of rice and thought about how he hadn't seen the finished footage all morning. Soon he figured out the key.

I'm afraid only Li Mingyang can do the post-production of this footage...

Learned another trick.

Xiao Yang followed Li Mingyang's example in making micro-films. After several months of hard work, he made a micro-film of the same type and posted it online, but it didn't make any splash.

There was no one to even curse at.

This time, the prodigal son returned home in order to follow Li Mingyang and learn how to be a director.

A week later, the story of the bedroom and the living room came to an end. During this period, everything was calm and peaceful.

Youku doesn't seem to have any intention of kicking him out.

Maybe they wanted him to shoot the first part first and see the effect.

After filming the last scene in the bedroom, the crew called it a day.

After returning to the dormitory, Li Mingyang took out his cell phone and sent a message to Yang Mi, asking her to help him join the crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".

It doesn’t matter how big or small the role is; the most important thing is to be able to join the crew.

Although Diaosi Man made him a lot of money, there is still a long way to go to reach his goal of one million.

He was determined to get Liu Shishi's small treasury.

Yang Mi neither agreed nor refused, she just kept him hanging. When she was in a good mood, she would send a few more messages, and when she was in a bad mood, she would only send a message the next day.

How hateful.

"Li Mingyang, are you really not going to sell the script to Director Feng?"

"Not for sale."

"Two hundred thousand."

"Why did you become a middleman...Are you trying to imitate Fatty Fan?"

"Fuck you! My boss is pushing me hard!"

"You are from Rong Xinda, why are you filming the sugar man scene?"

"It's none of your business. I advise you to sell the script quickly, otherwise... the consequences will be serious."

"How serious is it?"

"It's more serious than you can imagine."

"I want to see something."

"Neuropathy."

"You are a psycho."

"I'm going to ignore you. I need to read the script and figure out the character's psychology."

Li Mingyang put down his phone and went to the office of the International Training Center.

When a story was halfway through filming, his class instructors Lin Jidong and Huang Lei came together.

Lin Jidong, Haiqing the big blue-clothed girl, and Huang Haibo the ladybug are from the same class and are all students of Huang Lei.

According to seniority, Li Mingyang should call Huang Lei "Master".

Huang Lei walked in with great style.

Lin Jidong followed behind him, looking like a little follower of a wealthy man who currys favor with the powerful.

Huang Lei married his student Sun Li, and Lin Jidong later married his own student, Shen Taoran.

You are really a good student of Teacher Huang. You study everything very seriously.

That’s right, Li Mingyang doesn’t like his class tutor.

The school gave this guy an audition spot, but he relied on himself being a teacher and if he didn't give any benefits, he wouldn't get it.

Compared with him, Huang Lei is simply a saint.

Of course the most important thing is that I am too handsome and this guy is too ugly.

Ugly people often do strange things.
