"Xiao Yi, tell me the truth, have you ever participated in one of their gatherings?" Li Zhenye looked at Li Yi seriously and asked.
Li Yi raised his head, was startled for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and said: "Dad, where are you thinking? Although Cheng Xiaohu and I are familiar, we are just familiar. We don't usually play together! Moreover, there are some things that I will definitely not touch, so don’t worry! The most I do is drink and pick up girls, I won’t do other things!”
"Really?" Li Zhenye was still a little suspicious.
"Really!" Li Yi nodded. This is not to say that he was quibbling or anything, but that in his memory, even the original him and Cheng Xiaohu's group could not urinate in the same pot.
It's not that he was more principled before, but because of the difference in status!
Although they are also from the second generation of stars, Cheng Xiaohu is definitely the top star among the second generation of stars.
Cheng Hu is the number one Chinese kung fu superstar of this era, and Li Yi's father is not that Li Yi underestimates him. At his peak, he was only a second-tier film and television star.
In fact, before the first movie hit the streets, Li Yi thought that he was actually a very well-behaved child.
At least among the Xing Erdai group, he is considered a good boy.
"Then why...you had such an abnormal reaction just now?" Yi Lingling couldn't help but ask.
Li Yi smiled and said: "Because, I have thought of the story for the next movie."
"What?" Li Zhenye blurted out in shock.
It's not surprising that Li Zhenye had such a big reaction. Without him, Li Yi's last movie was a complete mess. It can also be said that it almost made Li Zhenye vomit blood. He went over to apologize to those old acquaintances one by one.
Li Yi was shocked before and even said depressing words that he would never make a movie again. In fact, Li Zhenye breathed a sigh of relief.
But now, Li Yi actually said that he wants to make a movie, which will also cost him his life.
You must know that in order to allow Li Yi to make his first movie, Li Zhenye had a high starting point. It can be said that Li Zhenye went all out and invested a large amount of money. As a result, not only did he lose all his money, but he also lost his money. Both Li Yi and him became the laughing stock in the circle!
Now Li Yi has regained his confidence and has even thought about the story of his next movie.
He even felt that it was good for Li Yi to have nothing to do before, at least it was better than when he wanted to make a new movie!
Then he felt Yi Lingling kicked him under the table.
Then I heard Yi Lingling say with a motherly smile: "Okay, stand up from where you fell. Don't worry, mom will fully support you! And the same goes for your dad, right, Li Zhenye!"
Li Zhenye looked at Li Yi and then at Yi Lingling's sharp eyes. He secretly complained in his heart, but he said: "That's natural. Xiao Yi, if you can get back on your feet, of course your father will support you!"
"Really?" Li Yi looked at his father, but he was laughing secretly in his heart.
How could he not know that neither his father nor his mother felt that Li Yi could really make good movies, but they couldn't stand it. They were more afraid that Li Yi would do nothing and end up with the same moral character as Cheng Xiaohu and the others. Then everything is really finished.
"Really! But this time, I don't care about anything else, but the assistant director must listen to me, and I will find it for you!" Li Zhenye was also deceived by his own son.
Li Yi smiled and said: "I listen to dad!"
Li Yi is no longer the same person he was before. He always wanted to prove himself, so in the first movie, he didn't listen to anyone, and ended up being beaten to pieces!
Dad wants to find a reliable assistant director for himself, so Li Yi is naturally eager to do so.
"Okay, you should stop going to nightclubs these days. Since you are going to make a movie, then save up the script carefully. Then your dad and I will go out of my way to find you a gold medal screenwriter to take a good look at it!" Li Zhenye added .
What else can Li Yi say? Of course he nodded.
Li Zhenye and Yi Lingling were relieved that Li Yi did not participate in the affairs of Cheng Xiaohu and his gang.
Send mom and dad away.
Li Yi started to "watch" that movie!
The movie is not a Chinese movie, but a Smecta movie, and it is not complicated, but Li Yi couldn't help but get red-eyed after seeing it.
To be honest, no matter what the people in Smecta are like, they are indeed good at sensationalism.
Then it was time to start writing the script.
In other words, it is to restore the picture to the piece of paper.
Although Li Yi said that his professional level was not top-notch, his basic skills were still very good.
And because I was copying the homework from a movie that had already been made, it really wasn’t too difficult. After all, the movie didn’t need anything too complicated.
If an ordinary person wants to make a movie, it is really not an easy task, especially if you want to make a theatrical movie.
But for Li Yi, a second-generation star, it is still relatively easy. Especially Li Zhenye, although he is not doing well in the entertainment industry, but he has a wide network of contacts. Li Zhenye is familiar with all the old actors in Hong Kong. very.
When Li Zhenye was an actor, he was only second-tier at best, but his business skills were pretty good and he had some financial resources, so he didn't need to worry too much about investment.
Of course, it would be another matter if it was a big production, but after Li Yi watched this movie, it was a low-cost feature film that was purely based on plot.
So, it doesn’t cost much.
Li Yi actually doesn't have much ambition, but since he has connections in the entertainment industry of his parents, and his golden finger seems to be biased towards movies, becoming a director is naturally the best choice.
As for how much box office this movie could have, Li Yi didn't think too much about it.
Because this is Smecta's movie, Li Yi doesn't seem to know the box office of this movie even in his previous life.
But simply looking at the plot of this movie, Li Yi felt that it had something going for it.
It’s a low-budget movie that doesn’t have any bells and whistles and relies on plot to win.
However, the background of this movie needs to be changed, but it doesn’t need to be changed too much, because if the background of Smecta is changed to the background of Hong Kong Island, although there may be some bugs, Li Yi feels that there are no Nitpicking is necessary.
Because the key to this movie is still the word "love"!
It took Li Yi three days to complete the script, which also included some localization modifications.
After checking it again, Li Yi nodded. He still paid more attention to the first movie. After all, even if he has parents like Li Zhenye and Yi Lingling, after all, he can cheat his father again and again!
Then, Li Yi made a call to Li Zhenye!
"Dad, the script is ready!" Li Yi said.
Li Zhenye's expression on the other end of the phone suddenly changed.
How long has it been? The script is out?
He had an extremely bad feeling. Are you kidding me? In three days, a fresh script was released. Do you really think that the script is a piece of cake?
Coupled with the lessons learned from the first movie, Li Zhenye was in bad shape.
But he couldn't question Li Yi. After all, his son had finally regained his confidence. How could he, as a father, have the heart to attack him?
"Your good son has finished the script!" Li Zhenye said to Yi Lingling with a sad face.
Yi Lingling was a little annoyed by Li Zhenye's attitude.
"Li Zhenye, what's your expression? That's your son too, and you don't trust your son so much? It's rare for Xiao Yi to regain the confidence to be a director and make movies. We parents don't support him, so who will support him? "Yi Lingling said angrily.
Li Zhenye also said with some annoyance: "Support, did I say I didn't support it? But if he is allowed to lose his fortune, am I still not allowed to complain? Do you think I don't want to support him? But in three days, a movie script was produced in three days. Ask yourself, is this reliable?"
"Didn't you say that you want to find a gold medal screenwriter for him to read the script? You should find it for him. If you can't do it, I will come to you!" Of course Yi Lingling also knows that it is really not easy to produce a movie script in three days. Reliable, but who told him to be her son?
"Okay, I'm going to save my face and ask Lao You to help me take a look!" Li Zhenye said, taking out his cell phone and calling Lao You in his mouth.
At the same time, the famous screenwriter in Hong Kong, You Ningsheng, was having tea with some old friends when he received a call from Li Zhenye.
You Ningsheng and Li Zhenye are old friends, so naturally they will not refuse Li Zhenye's request.
After agreeing on a time and place, hang up the phone.
"Who is it? Li Zhenye?" Luo Xian couldn't help but ask with a smile as Yu Ningsheng's old friend, the famous Hong Kong old green leaf, plays the role of a professional Hong Kong police officer.
"Yes, this Lao Li is good at everything, but he dotes on his son too much." You Ningsheng shook his head and said.
"What? Could it be that his precious son is going to make a movie again?" Luo Xian asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Yeah, no, let me help read the script!" You Ningsheng said with a wry smile.
"Tsk, tsk, the last movie had such a luxurious cast, but it turned out to be completely different. I heard that it was such a shock that it was so bad that I couldn't recover from it. Why are you making another movie now?" Luo Xian asked gossiping.
"It's not like you don't know the recent news. In fact, it's not a bad thing. It's better to fail in a movie than to get drunk, right? I guess Lao Li is also worried that his son will follow Cheng Xiaohu's path and wants to find something for him. Let's do it, I can only say that I pity the hearts of parents in the world! How about it? Do you want to go and see it together?" You Ningsheng asked with a smile.
"Okay, it's okay to be idle!" Luo Xian said with a smile.
...
Hong Kong Island, Lee Kee Tea Restaurant!
"Dad, who are you looking for?" Li Yi asked curiously.
"You Ningsheng, your Uncle You hugged you when you were a child, but you may not remember it!" Li Zhenye said.
"By the way, there is also Luo Xian. He will also come here with your Uncle You. Didn't you say that there is a role of a Hong Kong policeman in your drama? In Hong Kong Island, he is the only professional who plays the role of a Hong Kong policeman! "Li Zhenye said again.
Li Yi didn't remember You Ningsheng hugging him when he was a child, but the name You Ningsheng was indeed familiar to him.
Because this is indeed a veteran screenwriter in Hong Kong Island. The scripts of many blockbuster movies in Hong Kong Island were written by him.
So there is nothing wrong with calling it a gold medal screenwriter.
At this time, Li Zhenye suddenly stood up and waved to the door: "Lao You, Lao Luo, this way!"
You Ningsheng has some gray hair on his temples and wears black-rimmed glasses. He does have an air of a scholar about him. Well, in other words, someone who works in writing naturally has a unique temperament about him.
What a handsome man!
On the other side, the person who came with You Ningsheng didn't look so distinctive.
