Chapter 222 Omi's Past
Liu Kunlun was very interested in Aunt Hong’s proposal. The two discussed it in the ward. Xiong Aihong’s understanding of brand spokespersons is to find a celebrity or beautiful handsome man and woman to wear her clothes and make a billboard and stand on the door of the township store. She was reluctant to even place advertisements on TV stations.
Moreover, since you are my own person, the endorsement fee can be waived. Aunt Hong will give you a gift to introduce you to a partner.
Liu Kunlun said it was no problem, and it was not natural to help his aunt. The matters of the partner were all handled by Aunt Hong. If I couldn’t find me, I would have to rely on Aunt Hong to have dinner at your house every day.
Xiong Aihong laughed and said that this child is really good at speaking. After filming the advertisement, he will be an assistant for your aunt, driving and carrying a bag, I think you are the one who wants to.
This is Xiong Aihong's way of employing people. She only uses the best among her relatives and friends, which gives Liu Kunlun a great opportunity. Aunt Hong did not expect that the brand spokesperson she chose on a whim would bring huge benefits to herself and the company.
At first, I just planned to find a small advertising company and shoot a set of posters, but under Liu Kunlun's sweet words, the poster turned into an advertising short film, and the advertising short film turned into a feature film. By the time it finally evolved into a movie, Aunt Hong could no longer stop it.
This is Liu Kunlun’s idea in one thought. He made a movie to commemorate his past. The name of the movie was intended to be "Omi Past".
No one refuses to participate in the shooting of a movie. I have seen it all, but it is a rare opportunity to participate in it. The most important foundation of a movie is not the director and the star, but the script. Liu Kunlun spent three nights to write the script. Originally, he didn't know how to write the script, but what he wrote was in the form of a novel. Later, he bought a few textbooks and adapted the novel into a script.
You can't show this thing to investors. Aunt Hong's appreciation level will definitely not agree, so Liu Kunlun also needs to find another investor.
The first investor he looked for was Su Qing. As Muzitager's cousin and Wang Xizhi's calligraphy teacher, he found some excuses to visit. Su Qing had an impression of this young man, but his impression was not bad. In terms of seniority, this young man named Ou Zhudajie had to call himself an ex-aunt.
Liu Kunlun presented his works because the script is industrial and is for the cast and crew, and ordinary people look obscure and boring, so he reads Su Qing a novel, saying that I wrote something, aunt, please read it.
Su Qing doesn't like reading books. She took it purely out of politeness, but she couldn't stop reading it at a glance. After reading three pages, she was shocked. The details in the novel were too real, and it was not difficult for the parties involved to write it out. Her voice was trembling: "You wrote these?"
"I wrote it, I plan to make a movie," said Liu Kunlun.
"Okay, I will watch it slowly. If it is made into a movie, I think it must be very interesting." Su Qing was in a mess. Who told the story of this young man back then? Is it Wang Haikun or an old friend who has experienced this?
"I want to ask you to invest, and I also want to invite Wang Xizhi to play the second male lead, the young Kunlun," said Liu Kunlun.
Su Yan happened to come down from the building and jumped up, and was invincible in youth. When she saw the guy from the internet celebrity noodle shop coming, she was overjoyed: "Oh, why are you here? Mom, do you know him?"
Liu Kunlun said: "Do you want to act in a movie?"
"Me?" Su Yan pointed at her nose. She was so cute and cute that she was better than Su Qingqing in the past than blue.
"Of course I want to do it. I am a pillar of the drama club in college." Su Yan saw the novel in her mother's hand, and snatched it and flipped it out, "Just shoot this? Who am I playing?"
Of course, there is only 88 characters suitable for Su Yan.
Su Qing has not argued about investment, but Liu Kunlun has already seen the result from her eyes, and she will definitely invest.
The second investor to be recruited is Zang Hai, who was a little brother Dow Hai who was following Liu Kunlun in a big garbage dump. Now Zang Hai is already a famous big shot in Jinjiang. He started to open a restaurant, but later he completely devoted himself to the service industry. He followed the old path of Dunhuang. His nightclubs have bathing centers and hotels. There are hundreds of horsemen, all of whom are heroes who can be heard by one. Filming the past of Jinjiang requires a large number of extras, and Zang Hai must take action.
It is not that easy to see Zang Hai, but Liu Kunlun has a solution. In the past, Zang Hai was his younger brother, and he was Brother Kang's younger brother. He asked Brother Kang to come forward and succeeded. As for why he didn't reveal his true identity to Zang Hai, it was because people would change. Now Zang Hai, who is worth a huge amount of 10,000 yuan, is no longer the dirty child he used to be back then, and he may not be able to accept this supernatural reality.
Zang Hai is doing well, black and white, and is known as Brother Hai in the world. He broke his hand and claimed to be a mercenary abroad. In addition, his brotherly relationship with the super boss Wang Haikun, both officials and businessmen give him face. When he saw him again, Liu Kunlun almost couldn't recognize him. He gained great weight and had the momentum of a superior in every move, comparable to Su Rongmao back then.
The meeting was at night. In a nightclub private room, the private room was huge and magnificent. Zang Hai was wearing silk trousers and jackets, and jade beeswax hung. He looked like a Confucian businessman style. He did not show off his airs and was respectful to Brother Kang and was very polite to Brother Kang. He asked his mother to ask the lady to come in and choose for Brother Kang and his nephew.
Mommy brought a wave of ladies, and her appearance was pretty good. Zang Hai got angry at the sight and said that if another batch was changed, why were those beautiful people not there? Mommy said that you came a little late, and those who you often ordered were picked out.
Wei Kang said this was very good, no need to change it, Zang Hai said that it must be done. He must use Omi's most beautiful girl to call me.
Mommy was in a dilemma, but she went there anyway. After a while, she came back and said that Brother Zang was not good, but she didn't agree.
Zang Hai said, did you tell him who I am?
Mommy said I haven't said that, but the guests in the room said that their elder brother is Omi's boss.
Zang Hai smiled: "Origin, go and call him here and I'll see who the boss is."
Mommy said, Brother Zang, please don’t make things difficult for me.
Zang Hai glared and mommy went there obediently. Liu Kunlun realized that a conflict seemed inevitable. He glanced at Brother Kang, Wei Kang smiled slightly, and shook his head.
A moment later, the door of the private room was knocked open, and three big and thick young men rushed in, cursing, holding a bottle of wine in their hands, but when they saw Zang Hai, they stood at attention.
"Dad." The young man in charge shouted, "You are here too."
"Damn it, can't I come? This is your uncle, call someone." Zang Hai cursed.
The young man called Wei Kang to the old man, and then called Liu Kunlun with a wink, handed the cigarette, poured wine, and sang a song, and then left in shame. The girls also turned here.
When he was drunk, Wei Kang talked about his idea of making a movie and presented it with the script. Zang Hai couldn't read the text. After hearing the story, he patted his thighs and said that it was right to find me. I was worried that there was no place to wash the money, shoot it! I invested, and the whole scene was big, I found a big director, a big star, I got the shooting venue, and I had it all.
"Then thank you Mr. Zang." Liu Kunlun raised his wine glass, "I'll do it as you please."
...
It is not that simple to make a movie. The funds and scripts are far from enough. A strong producer is needed, including a professional team such as the director and the director. At first, Liu Kunlun also planned to invite directors of certain standards to direct and find a few reasonable actors to take charge. However, he found that he was naive and that nothing was enough to do. Movies were made with an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan. No matter whether it was Su Qing or Zang Hai, it was not enough to support such a big project. Even if Aunt Hong was born in a small peasant economy, Xiong Aihong has always been extremely strict in controlling large investments.
So Liu Kunlun could only find a way and use extremely limited funds to get this done. He drove Brother Kang's broken off-road vehicle to look for the outdoors everywhere. The big garbage dump in his early years has now become a green space. Only by driving a hundred kilometers can he find a garbage dump in the neighboring city, which is vaguely like the one he used to be.
The shanty town of the garbage dump was built by Liu Kunlun and a group of migrant workers. The cost was extremely low. The Dunhuang Entertainment Club at No. 88 Urumqi Road no longer exists. Zang Hai was asked to find a similar bathing center instead. Fortunately, the decoration style was extremely close and there was no sense of incongruity. Other scenes in the film also tried their best to pursue the original appearance. The clothes worn by the characters, the mobile phones they held, the cars and motorcycles they drove were all used to buy. Liu Kunlun was extremely strict with the details and was even more arbitrary with the script. He spent money to hire a screenwriter. This person was very dissatisfied with the script written by Liu Kunlun. He tampered with many plots himself, and the characters' personalities changed. He was proud, but he was fired on the spot by Liu Kunlun.
If you can't hire a director, you will come on your own. If you don't have money to buy equipment, you will use non-professional actors. Fortunately, Liu Kunlun got the help of many people. He finally started the film before the summer vacation came.
The script was written by Liu Kunlun himself, telling the story of his back then, but he did not play himself, but played the male lead Wei Kang. The actor who played Liu Kunlun invited Wang Xizhi, Mu Zi played the fourth sister, Tagg played Zang Hai, and Wei Kang played Su Rongmao. Of course, they all used pseudonyms, and the story was fine-tuned accordingly.
As for the actress who plays the role of Su Qing, she was originally considering Su Yan, but as a fan of drama, she was too reserved in front of the camera and often laughed at each other in the opposite scenes with Wang Xizhi. Director Liu made a quick decision and found a sophomore girl from the Art Academy to play, which was much better than Su Yan.
The filming was summer vacation, and the students in Muzitag class came to watch. Liu Lu, as the head teacher, also came to visit the set. This scene was a chance encounter at the door of Dunhuang. The amateur actor who played Yuan Zihui was Zanghai's mistress. He had good looks and figures, and his real identity and role overlapped, but his acting skills were poor. He was just like Su Yan's fault. He was too late to change the player temporarily. He could only call him NG over and over again, and start over again!
It wouldn't work again. Liu Kunlun was anxious and suddenly saw Liu Lu from the onlookers. He pointed and said, "Teacher Liu, come and take her back."
"Me?" Liu Lu pointed to the tip of her nose, "I haven't even read the script."
"No need to read the script, I'll tell you the show." Liu Kunlun personally came out to show his example, walked out of the gate of Dunhuang, waiting for the foreman to ask someone to drive his Jimny over. When Su Rongmao, played by Wei Kang, came down, walked to the side and called, and waited for the father and daughter of the Su family to leave before coming over to drive away. It was that simple.
The plot is in winter, and now it is summer. The actor needs to wear a sable coat to act. It is very hard. Originally, Liu Kunlun just wanted to try it out, but the moment when Liu Lu wrapped the sable, the charming smell came out, and it was exactly the person he wanted.
"You're the one, you play Yuan Zihui." Liu Kunlun said.
Boss Zang's mistress was very angry. The character of the second female character disappeared after saying that she had nothing. She left resentful and went home to complain.
Liu Kunlun doesn't care, no one can interfere in filming, and I can't do it.
After filming this part, he found that there was another person in the crowd who came to visit the set, Su Qing, the real protagonist of the story.
