Chapter 223: Hardcore debut

Su Qing came to visit her son's class, she doubted that Wang Xizhi could play the role of his father as the prototype, this child can be said to be born with a golden key, grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, and has never suffered hardships.

But unexpectedly, Wang Xizhi's acting skills are excellent, he stood at the door of Emperor Dun in the uniform of a doorman, with unruly and inferior eyes, that thin and fierce figure, both god and form, and he was Liu Kunlun back then, and he reminded Su Qing of many past events for a while.

The filming continued, Liu Lu wrapped in a mink coat, pretending to be very cold and came out of the gate of Dunhuang, her high heels were clattering, her face was expressionless, and she was as proud as a snow lotus, the foreman came forward to greet her, took the car key and handed it to Wang Xizhi, and asked him to pick up the car, Su Qing noticed that there was a bear tied to the car key, she remembered that Yuan Zihui's car key did have a bear on it, and even this detail was tight, this director really didn't say.

Wang Xizhi went to the parking lot to pick up the car, at this time the Su family's father and daughter appeared, Liu Lu naturally slipped to the side to pretend to make a phone call, Su Qing saw that the man who played Su Rongmao was very familiar, he was Wei Kang, it was Wei Kang who died, it was him who turned into ashes, and he couldn't be wrong.

Wei Kang and No. 88 passed the scene, followed by Liu Lu to get in the car and leave, this one also passed directly.

"I'm not very comfortable, go get them coffee." Su Qing said to the assistant that she came to visit the class with fifty cups of coffee, and originally wanted to chat with the actors, talk about the play, and maybe find a trick for herself to play, but when she saw Wei Kang appear, she was in a terrible mood and didn't have the heart to stay any longer.

For Wei Kang, Su Qing has long lost love and hatred, but seeing the old man makes her at a loss, and she doesn't know how to face it.

At this time, Zang Hai's second wife, who was canceled from the role, came with someone, she came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and the people she brought were Zang Hai's bodyguards, and she had to talk to the director.

"You're the director, right, let's go over there and talk. "The bodyguards are big-shouldered and round-waisted, and they often work out in the gym.

"I'm the director, so let's talk about it here. For these juniors, Liu Kunlun is not in the mood to waste time, "If you want an explanation, it's very simple, hit me first, you can put me down, you can play any role, I'll give you the director, come on, I'm in a hurry." ”

Liu Kunlun clapped his hands and made a gesture to make a move, and the bodyguards saw that he didn't look like he could fight, so he planned to teach a little lesson, but he didn't expect the director to move as fast as lightning, and put down a person with two snaps, he shot extremely quickly, reached out and dragged it, hooked his feet, and put the person to the ground, followed by a knee hit on the head, if it wasn't for the hand, the person would have to fall unconscious on the spot.

If this is the result of a sudden attack, then letting go of the other three people is purely technical, after the fight, there was a round of applause at the scene, some people have heard that the director can fight, but they didn't expect to be able to fight like this.

Su Qing, who was about to leave, also saw this scene, which reminded her that at the gate of the Rolling Stones that year, Liu Kunlun put down several students from the Physical Education Academy in this way, and the actions were the same.

Su Qing still went home, she told her father the news that Wei Kang was still alive, Su Rongmao just smiled indifferently, he had already been relieved of the enemy who had killed him in prison for decades, and the past was all with the wind.

……

Under the impetus of a director and producer like Liu Kunlun, who has a strong and tough style, the filming went smoothly, and it took a whole summer vacation for Omi's past to finally come to an end.

For the students of the seventh class of Shuren Middle School, this summer vacation after the end of the first semester of high school is very meaningful, and everyone cooperated to shoot an online movie, although the plot is old-fashioned, telling about the old things of the rivers and lakes thirty years ago, but they don't care, just have fun.

Wang Xizhi didn't expect his acting skills to be so good, this summer vacation extracurricular activities gave him unexpected joy, originally his life path was limited, grow up, study abroad, and then inherit the family business, it looks wonderful but boring life, he also has a strict and almost harsh father, he has grown up in the shadow of his father for a long time, he feels that he can't surpass his father in his life, but now, he seems to have found a shortcut to overtake in the corner, he wants to devote himself to the showbiz and be a star.

And for Mu Zi and Tag, it is a rare good opportunity, how can the children of civilians have such an opportunity to be "electrocuted", although they are both supporting roles, their performances are in place, the sense of the camera is very sufficient, and their acting skills are online.

This "electrocution" also gave Liu Lu a new understanding of the calligraphy teacher, the undercover policeman this guy played in the movie is really handsome, the white shirt, the chic one-handed direction, there is a charming taste of the old school, and Liu Lu and Liu Kunlun also have a bed scene, under close contact, smelling the manly smell of sandalwood on his body, she is simply intoxicated.

The advertising company that filmed the past of Omi is the small leather bag company established by Li Ming, Feng Yuan, and Jian Ai, although they are not optimistic about this story, what age is this, and they also tell the old story of thirty years ago, isn't it clear that young audiences are excluded, if you have to shoot, you have to adapt, change the era to the present, and the character modeling should not be so old-fashioned and old-fashioned, and it is not good to get a group of handsome men and beautiful women wearing the most popular clothes at the moment to interpret this story.

Dissatisfied to dissatisfied, everyone still did what they had to do, the record, shooting permit, and network publishing license were all done with Li Ming's efforts.

In September, Chun Leek's condition worsened, the hospital was no longer lived, and she went home to recuperate, Liu Kunlun hired a nanny to take care of her, and she worked day and night in the studio to carry out the post-production of the film.

In October, the sample came out and was sent to major online platforms, all of which were returned without exception, no one wants to watch this kind of period drama, and this film doesn't even have a star, the shooting techniques are inferior, the long shots are one shot to the end, and a lot of dialects are used, no matter what angle you analyze, it will definitely not be a good film.

There is no way, "Once Upon a Time in Omi" can only be released on the Internet in the form of a "Love Red" brand shirt commercial, after all, the shirts often worn by the first man and the second man are sponsored by Love Red.

However, the number of clicks and downloads of the commercial is very small.

In a word, this movie hit the street, and it was very miserable, with no return, it cost more than 8 million before and after, two months of shooting, countless sweats and countless efforts, in exchange for only quietly.

No one can accept this result, Zang Hai let out the words, and returned the money he invested within a month, otherwise no one's face will be good, Xiong Aihong is also very angry, as a shrewd businessman, she has never made a loss-making business, this time she actually lost a lot, she couldn't accept it, but she was not as rude and direct as Zang Hai, but thinking about signing a contract with her eldest nephew and getting a duck shop to sell herself to pay off her debts.

Only Su Qing didn't come to collect debts, although she invested the most money, in her mind, this movie is a gift to commemorate her youth, millions of dollars are smashed into it, and it's worth it.

With a loss of only eight million, everyone was worried, only Liu Kunlun didn't take it to heart at all, he believed that there would be a return on his efforts.

Chun Yu also knew about the loss of money in the movie, she said that our family still has 1.5 million, otherwise we should use it to pay off the debt.

Liu Kunlun said no, it would shine if it was gold.

At the same time, others are also sparing no effort to educate those around them about the film, and around the end of October, "Once Upon a Time in Omi" became an online hit almost overnight.

Liu Kunlun listened to Tag tell him, the past of Omi is on fire, and the score on Douban is 9.0, which is a very high score, he checked on the Internet, and was frightened by the overwhelming praise words, overall, the public's evaluation of this film is similar to Jia Zhangke's "Platform" back then, it is a pure movie full of literary atmosphere and feelings.

Of course, success can't just rely on selling feelings, in all fairness, the film is a low-cost production, but extremely conscientious, every actor's acting skills are excellent, especially the performances of the male and male two are like peers, which is naturally incomparable, and they are all at the level of explosive acting.

According to research, the underworld characters in the film are local gangsters, and the clubhouse lady is also starring in her true colors, the fighting and gunfight scenes in the film are shot in real time, no stand-ins, no CG animation, and the actors will not read the lines in the later stage of 12345, which is super hardcore, and it is also a reflection of conscience, the script looks cliché, but according to human research, this story really happened in Omi thirty years ago, and the online posts of that year were picked up, and the related characters also have their own origins, which can be called a non-fiction movie, plus the use of a lot of documentary shooting techniques and original sound recordings, the original criticized mirror has now been blown into a flower.

The movie is on fire, there are countless reviews and analysis articles, countless media people have come to rub the traffic, ordinary movies have been given a lot of meaning and metaphors, even Liu Kunlun himself didn't know that it contained so many deep meanings, of course, there are people who specialize in hacking this movie, and online debates have been torn one after another, but whether it is praised or deprecated, they are further strengthening the influence of the past in Omijiang, so that even the academic circle has joined in, and the evaluation of this movie by professionals is invariably quite high, and professors and experts talk about it and praise it as the Chinese versionOnce Upon a Time in America.

The majority of petty bourgeoisie, if you haven't watched the past in Omi, you have nothing to talk about, which is also related to the lack of high-quality films at present, full of CG animation virtual portraits, and a little dim sum can stand out, not to mention such a hardcore film.

In just one week, Liu Kunlun has become the focus of attention, a large number of reporters gathered around his residence, proud to be able to interview this genius director, but Liu Kunlun closed the door and did not accept interviews at all.

The influence of the Internet has spread to the offline, and some young people have begun to imitate the dress of the protagonist in the movie, the retro white shirt has an increased back, and the white shirt must be bought with a red card, otherwise it will not be authentic.

Xiong Aihong's financial director told her that the white shirt was in an emergency, the sales of the online store had blown up the inventory in the warehouse, and dealers around the country also sent emails like snowflakes, what should I do, Mr. Xiong!

"Raw materials are imported and overtime is produced. Xiong Aihong said, "Let the dealer call me the full amount first." ”
