Chapter 4: Diaosi Men
Rebirth All along, Li Mingyang just wanted to make movies with class.

After all, he took too many photos of things that were not very cool.

Especially after becoming financially independent, Li Mingyang felt empty because making short films could no longer bring him the pleasure of money.

The most fundamental reason why he left Penguin Video was that he was tired of the short and brainless skits, but Lao Ma asked him to shoot short dramas to develop overseas markets.

Li Mingyang decided to work hard on making bad dramas and make money first.

Since the beginning of 2008, video websites have begun the process of content legalization, strengthened the purchase of legitimate content, and gradually deleted illegal and pirated content.

Genuine and homemade content is beginning to become mainstream.

The vulgar and borderline "Diaosi Man" is definitely a powerful tool for attracting traffic.

The success of Sohu Video is due to the Diaosi Men.

In essence, The Diaosi Man is a patchwork of short plays, and each story is very short.

Li Mingyang is best at short plays, which are not difficult to shoot.

It’s just that the Diaosi men have a bad reputation and will be labeled as vulgar, and it will take a long time to whitewash themselves.

"This wave is going to be big. If I make less money, I might as well not shoot it... Shoot a few sample clips first. Once I have something in hand, it will be easier to negotiate terms."

Li Mingyang rummaged through his wallet and found only 215 yuan in coins and notes.

"So poor..." Li Mingyang looked at the Tissot watch Jing Tian bought for him on his wrist, "I have to sell the watch..."

Just do it when you think of it. Li Mingyang posted the news of selling Tissot watches to the class group.

Soon, Jing Tian showed up.

The watch was finally bought back by Jing Tian for five thousand yuan, not a penny more.

Snapped!
Zhang Ruoyun threw five thousand yuan in Li Mingyang's face and said angrily: "What a bastard!"

After saying that, Zhang Ruoyun's face changed and she said awkwardly: "This is what Sister Jing Tian asked me to tell you."

"I got it." Li Mingyang said as he picked up the money.

"You want to sell the watch, but sell it secretly... You even said it in the class group."

"You can only get a high price if you sell it to her! You don't understand, so stop talking."

"Be careful when you go out next time..." Zhang Ruoyun said, and ran away quickly.

"Why are you running? I'm not afraid, so why should you be afraid?"

the other side.

Jing Tian was holding the watch that she had given to Li Mingyang last year, and she was in a terrible mood.

Memories of Li Mingyang flashed back in her mind bit by bit. After a long while, she sighed, "I must have lost my mind at that time. I actually liked him. Bastard! What a bastard man!"

After saying that, Jing Tian raised his arm and threw the watch into the lake.

……

To be a loser man, first of all, there must be beautiful women, sweet girls, royal sisters, coquettish and pure girls, silly and sweet green tea bitches, there are different types, there is always one that excites the audience.

The thing that film schools have no shortage of is beautiful women.

It’s just that… price is a big issue, it would be best if I could get it for free.

Secondly, there needs to be a girl with big breasts, as the audience’s demand is very strong.

And you also have to be dedicated, and the supply must be stable and sufficient.

Liu Yan is a good choice, but she is too expensive. She started her acting career as a host in 00, signed a contract with Light Media in 05, and starred in Painted Skin in 07. We have to find someone with a better price/performance ratio.

In the next few days, Li Mingyang ran around and spent two thousand yuan to hire a photographer, a lighting technician, a makeup artist, several stagehands and filming equipment.

They are the same people who filmed "Goodbye Jinhua Station". Last time he talked about his dream, he tricked these people into bringing their own equipment and serving as free labor. But this time it won't work, they have to pay.

Dreams become reality once you suffer a loss.

Compared to the behind-the-scenes work, the actors didn't spend much money.

Goodbye Jinhua Station made Zhang Xiaofei taste the sweetness of success, and also made Li Mingyang famous in the Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy.

Many students are willing to film for free.

The health trainer Qiao Shan graduated from the 04 class of the Central Academy of Drama. Two bottles of beer and three side dishes were enough for the meal, and the other party paid for it.

Dapeng is played by Zhang Ruoyun. Dayun is very funny and even more despicable than Dapeng when he becomes mean.

Other beauties include Yang Mi, Yuan Shanshan, Tan Songyun, Kan Qingzi, 208... I didn't spend a penny.

As for the goddess Liu Yan, Li Mingyang originally wanted to find Yang Mi, but she is too young now and her breasts are not big enough, at most a B cup, which is still a long way from a D.

What's more, Liu Yan is 65E.

I spent two days at the Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy, and most of them were mediocre, rarely even a C. The Beijing Dance Academy was even worse, because big breasts were a given, and dancers didn't have big breasts.

Sister-in-law Xu Dongdong is a nice person, but I don’t know where she is?
Liu Yuxin is also good. She was from a beauty pageant, Miss Asia. She has a great figure, but she is not pretty enough. She is far inferior to Liu Yan.

Li Mingyang could only go to the gate of Beijing Film Academy to look for people to work in Beijing.

Unexpectedly, he actually found a replacement for Liu Yan.

The twin peaks are at least 36D!

He is 168cm tall and will be prosperous all the way.

She has a beautiful appearance, not inferior to Liu Yan. Except that she is a little dark, she is simply perfect.

The girl’s name is Zhong Xiaoyu. She is from Jinling and is a fellow villager of Li Mingyang. She graduated from Nanjing Academy of Fine Arts and has been working in Beijing for more than two months. She hasn’t received many roles, and most of them are for female supporting roles.

Li Mingyang originally felt sorry for her.

But when she named the price, the little bit of pity in Li Mingyang's heart disappeared.

Eight hundred a day...so damn expensive!
These prices are all special prices.

It took more than two hours for Li Mingyang to let Zhong Xiaoyu know how awesome he was and that if she acted in his movies, she would have a good chance of becoming famous.

Zhong Xiaoyu hesitated for a long time and finally asked for five hundred a day.

Li Mingyang agreed.

Afterwards, Li Mingyang found a female migrant worker who weighed over 200 pounds at the gate of Beijing Film Academy.

The actors are all here.

After confirming the behind-the-scenes staff, deciding on the actors and signing the contracts, the filming of "Diaosi Man" can begin.

……

Since it is a demo, of course we have to take the most attractive shot.

Foot bath is the perfect health care product.

The shooting location is Xinyang Pavilion, the largest foot bath shop near the school.

Li Mingyang took photos in a foot massage parlor under the pretext of publicity, and the owner did not ask for any money.

After the shooting was finished and he watched the sample film, the boss smiled wickedly and generously gave him ten 100-yuan vouchers.

It turns out that playing on the edge is a man's favorite.

Especially 36D Zhong Xiaoyu was very dedicated. She took off her clothes very decisively. She looked very sexy in a blue miniskirt and black stockings, which was a feast for the eyes for everyone.

Of course, making such a vulgar film, except for 36D Zhong Xiaoyu who was very happy and Xiong Yan who didn't care, the other actors were very unhappy.

Especially Yang Mi, her eyes were blazing with anger, she wished she could kill him.

"Don't look at me like that, wait until I negotiate a good price, and everyone will get paid." Li Mingyang faced the anger of a group of girls and said, "Tonight's supper is on me!"

"It's not easy! You actually treated us, so everyone, don't be polite tonight and eat this bastard out of money!" Zhang Ruoyun tried to smooth things over with a smile.

"I can't eat!" Yang Mi left angrily.

"Mimi." Zhang Xiaofei chased after her.

Seeing this, the other girls also left. In the end, the only girls left were Tan Songyun, Zhong Xiaoyu, and the 200-pound fat girl Xiong Yan. The girl didn't leave behind the scenes, but surrounded Zhong Xiaoyu and tried to get close to her.

The group came to a roadside food stall, where four small tables were filled, each with a box of beer.

When we finally paid the bill, the boss added a new price, making it 500 yuan.

The money is not enough, I still need 50 yuan.

"Dayun, borrow 200 yuan."

“Isn’t it just 50?”

“I still have to live!”

The group of people were speechless. They had seen poor people, but had never seen anyone so poor.

"Boss, here is five hundred." Tan Songyun took out five hundred yuan from his bag and handed it to the boss.

The boss was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Mingyang.

Li Mingyang happily took his money from the boss, turned to Tan Songyun and said, "Squirrel, when I have money, I will treat you to a big meal."

After saying this, fearing that Tan Songyun would regret it, he quickly slipped away.

"A meat bun thrown at a dog will never come back!" Zhang Ruoyun shook his head.

"Is it really possible that he will eat dirt?" Tan Songyun looked at Li Mingyang's back and said happily, "It's rare to see him so motivated and charming."
