After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?
Chapter 3: The Outlier Among Outliers
Chapter 3: The Outlier Among Outliers
"Since being an actor is so miserable, why don't you be a screenwriter? I'll teach you. You're so smart, you'll definitely learn it quickly." Li Mingyang joked.
Yang Mi quickly waved her hands, "I like being an actor, but I can't write scripts."
"Give it a try. Maybe you are the one in a million genius."
Yang Mi awkwardly took a sip of coffee and glanced at Li Mingyang secretly.
What on earth is this guy thinking? Does he really think that he can become a director just by writing a good script?
Yang Mi likes to gossip and has been following Li Mingyang for a long time, when Li Mingyang and Jing Tian were not yet in a relationship.
Li Mingyang is simply an outlier among outliers in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, and there are too many scandals.
A student of acting department, he has no talent for acting. His lines are emotionless, his eyes are dull, his body movements are stiff, and his handsome face is wasted.
But he has a strong ability to talk about theory on paper, and the students who have been guided by him will greatly improve their acting skills.
I can’t act, but I can coordinate, photograph and write scripts.
He doesn't look like a student from the acting department at all, but rather like a student from the directing department.
If it were just this, he could only be called an outlier. After all, every year there are outliers in the acting department who have poor academic performance but want to be a director and take a roundabout way to enter the Beijing Film Academy.
What really surprised everyone was that he was unwilling to work and was determined to make movies.
Even if the director who came to the school to select actors chose him, he would find excuses not to shoot.
After he started dating Jing Tian, he just gave up and even refused to attend interviews. He lived off Jing Tian and cheated his girlfriend of her money.
Yang Mi described Li Mingyang as a waste who is too ambitious and lives off women.
So, when Li Mingyang invited her to make a micro-film, she ignored him.
Who would have thought that Li Mingyang would use a bowl of spicy hot pot to trick his roommate Zhang Xiaofei into playing the female lead, and also find a bunch of free academic elites from other departments to keep him company.
All the equipment belonged to others, and Xiao Fei's pay was only five yuan...
As a result, this micro-film, which cost less than a thousand yuan to make, became a hit!
It has become Tudou Video's signature micro-film! It has always been on the homepage, with over 20 million hits and an extremely good reputation.
Xiao Fei, who was originally bored and had nothing to do, suddenly became popular and many film crews invited her to audition.
How could this useless guy who lives off his wife be so powerful?
You must get to know outstanding people as early as possible.
If you pass by, you can't miss it.
So Yang Mi went to get in touch with Li Mingyang. After getting in touch with him, she found that Li Mingyang was not a waste, but he was not a serious person either.
What a big liar.
He is really good at talking big and bragging on paper.
If the other party had bad intentions, he would have cheated her out of her money under the guise of making a movie!
She really thought the other party was a genius director.
"Mingyang, to tell you the truth, it wasn't China Film that liked your script, but Director Feng. If you think the price is too low, we can still negotiate."
Li Mingyang raised his eyebrows, feeling both surprised and not surprised.
Feng Kuzi is not a very good person, but as a director, he is one of the top directors in the country, with a unique vision and is very good at telling stories.
"How did you know?" This was the second time Li Mingyang asked.
Yang Mi sighed, "My boss, Li Shaohong, is friends with them. The Beijing circle is so small, and all the good resources are in their hands... I advise you to sell it. There is no need to offend them because of a script, unless you don't plan to enter the entertainment industry in the future."
Li Mingyang was silent.
What Yang Mi said was true.
At this time, China Film Group was the pinnacle of domestic entertainment with imported films in the left hand and main themes in the right hand.
Feng Kuzi was at the peak of his creative career and was good friends with Zuoshandiao, with Huayi Brothel behind him.
Li Mingyang always felt that Feng Kuzi at this period was invincible in the mainland film circle, and even Zhang Yimou in the Northwest circle was more than a head shorter than him.
He can't afford to offend either of them, but he will never give up "A Bouquet of Love" to anyone else.
"No matter what, I am the only one who can direct my script!"
Yang Mi was speechless and thought Li Mingyang was crazy.
……
"Have you read my script?" Li Mingyang asked.
Yang Mi shook her head, "No."
"Want to see it?"
Yang Mi's eyes lit up with excitement, and she hummed coquettishly. Ten minutes later, the two came to an Internet cafe near the school and found an empty private room. Li Mingyang logged into QQ, opened his QQ mailbox, and opened the script of "Love Like a Bouquet of Flowers".
"Okay, see." Li Mingyang stood up, gave his seat to Yang Mi, and sat in Yang Mi's seat.
After Yang Mi sat down, she slid the mouse and read the script for a while. Her eyes widened and her face was full of disbelief.
"Did you write this?"
"Of course, the copyright of the script has been registered."
I didn't expect that this bastard who cheated women out of their money could write such a delicate and moving script.
"That's so sweet. I also want to have a boyfriend like that."
"I didn't expect such a simple and monotonous life could be so interesting. The interaction between the male and female protagonists is so interesting."
“It’s so comfortable to get along like this.”
"You have a cat? Do you like cats?"
"Cats are so cute, haha!"
"Love is defeated by reality... Why is it gone? Where are the remaining ones? Open them quickly." Yang Mi said anxiously.
"Do you want to act?" Li Mingyang smelled the faint body fragrance emanating from Yang Mi, which was really refreshing.
"I'm telling you, I don't have any money. Give up, hurry up! Where's the rest?"
"Gone."
"Gone?"
"I only wrote half of it, the rest is here." Li Mingyang pointed to his head.
Yang Mi was stunned, and immediately understood why Director Feng insisted on buying it!
This guy only wrote half of the script.
At the important moment, when the conflict is about to break out, it comes to an abrupt stop!
so bad!
"Tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone else." Yang Mi stretched out two fingers and swore to the sky.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"What do you want to do? I just want to pursue my career, not fall in love. Just give up!"
Li Mingyang smiled.
Yang Mi was confused by the laughter.
Then, the computer screen suddenly went black.
Yang Mi looked at the screen that entered the restart screen and was stunned. "Why did you restart the computer? I want to watch it again... Why did you run away! Come back!"
As a public figure, Yang Mi naturally couldn't chase a boy in an Internet cafe. She stopped at the door, then stepped back, sat on the sofa, and looked at the initialized desktop.
Suddenly she laughed, like a vixen, "The greater the difficulty, the greater the reward. You can't escape this girl's Five Finger Mountain."
……
The hardest part of rebirth is getting the first pot of gold.
I can’t sing, but I don’t want to give advantage to others.
Typing is too slow for writing novels.
The rich girlfriend is gone.
It is difficult to monetize micro-films.
This path to school is not feasible.
Li Mingyang was very worried because he had no start-up capital for the movie!
Making movies is very expensive!
Although "A Bouquet of Love" is a low-budget movie, the minimum shooting cost is at least one million.
Even if he became a model or acted in a movie, he wouldn't be able to raise the money in such a short time.
Before 09, I couldn’t get one million, and my love was like taking a bouquet of flowers.
In 10, the pay of stars will skyrocket, and it will get more and more outrageous. In 11, one million yuan will not be enough to hire a decent star.
Making movies in this era without stars and without being a big director is just suicide.
That's why Li Mingyang chose to lie down, cling to Jing Tian's thighs, and cheat Yang Mi's secret treasury.
Now everything is lost, and Feng Kuazi, who is eyeing him covetously, has arrived.
"We can't go on like this! We'll have to eat the dirty money!"
