Chapter 001: So I'm Dead, Am I?
"Let's congratulate Director Li on the success of the box office of Sadako vs. Pen Fairy!" Cheers!" In Kempinski's luxurious box, a greasy middle-aged man with a 'Mediterranean' hairstyle raised his glass to the crowd attending the banquet.
"Congratulations to Director Li!" everyone raised their glasses, and the banquet was full of people for a while.
Some people laugh after drinking and are happy to see everyone; some people cry after drinking and remember all the tragic things in their lives; some people scold people after drinking, and there is no one who does not scold after drinking; some people go to sleep after drinking, and this is the kind of person who has the best wine, and Director Li is the person with the best wine. Director Li's real name is Li Xiang, 33 years old, which is considered young as a director. According to the normal development trajectory, it is impossible for Li Xiang to become a director at such a young age, although he is making a domestic horror film, but when people's luck comes, they can't stop it.
When Li Xiang was 28 years old, he was just a small executive assistant director, and his daily job was to coordinate the scene and scene layout. On this day, he was working, and suddenly the crew informed him that the director and assistant directors were caught looking for poultry and could not come back for the time being. The producer, who is also the investor of the movie, has no choice but to put Li Xiang on top, otherwise the crew will lose a lot of money. Li Xiang himself also graduated from the film and television director's major, although the school is the kind of second-rate pheasant university, but it is enough to deal with this kind of 18-line movie. The box office of the movie was unexpected by Mr. Zheng (the greasy middle-aged man of the producer and investor), and the horror film "Someone Under the Bed" directed by Li Xiang halfway actually got a box office of 8 million!
Don't think that 8 million is very little, you must know that this movie does not need stars, second, it does not need big scenes, and third, it does not need a large amount of publicity and distribution costs, and the total cost is only 1.5 million. The 8 million box office plus the follow-up click share of the video website helped Mr. Zheng earn nearly 5 million before and after! A good thing with a 3-fold return is not easy to find in this era. Zheng Zonglong, Yan Dayue, Li Xiang also became his queen director, and this shoot was nearly 5 years. Li Xiang has made 30 movies in less than 5 years, and "Sadako vs. Pen Fairy" is his latest 'masterpiece'.
People's desires will gradually change with different statuses, and the commonly known desire is difficult to fill, and the same is true for Li Xiang. He has been working as an assembly-line horror film director for 5 years, and he is a little tired of this job. He is also eager to make some movies of his favorite genre, and just this time the new movie is a big hit, Mr. Zheng promised him that he can invest in shooting a comedy, with an investment of no less than 5 million, as long as the script passes the company's review. Li Xiang, who was double happy, naturally drank a few more glasses, and was sleeping on the table at this moment!
The banquet ended at midnight, and Li Xiang was also put in his car by everyone and sent home by his assistant. People really don't have a fluke mentality, such as Li Xiang's assistant. The position of assistant is actually quite hard, not to mention being called, the most important thing is to be on call. The green light in front of him turned red, and Li Xiang's assistant saw that it was already very late, and there were no cars on the street, and there was no surveillance, so he decided to run the red light and go home early. The assistant stepped up the throttle and was about to cross the intersection at full speed, when a big truck came from the side at high speed, which happened to hit Li Xiang's car, the car flipped several times in the air, and fell headfirst to the ground...
Li Xiang felt that the world was spinning in his sleep, and when he slowly woke up, he found that he couldn't open his eyes at all, and he couldn't use any strength if he wanted to move, just when he was at a loss, he suddenly felt that there was some power to help him, and he slowly moved in one direction, and it didn't take long to feel that a pair of hands held him up.
"Red!'s a boy!" said the owner of the hands that held him.
"I'll just say I'm pregnant with a boy, and the gang can't see it!haha!" said a gentle voice. Although he was weak, he couldn't hide the joy in his tone.
Li Xiang wondered what was going on, thinking about it, he actually fell asleep, just like this, he woke up from sleep, and sometimes he could feel someone pick him up and breastfeed him. Li Xiang thought of this situation in horror, it seems that he should be reborn, and now things are a big deal. When he is not filming, Li Xiang's biggest hobby is watching movies, listening to music, and reading books. Rebirth novels are also his favorite type of novels, but he would never have thought that such a thing could happen to him, the key is that he doesn't even know why he was reborn. For this reason, he struggled for a long time, and only later did he slowly let go.
The old Li family has been immersed in joy recently, and the daughter-in-law of the Li family has filled in a big fat boy for the old Li family, and the neighbors have also come to congratulate. Lao Li Tou has been even more happy these days, and he will send candy when he meets people. Grandma Li was also happy to go into the house of her daughter-in-law's confinement to see her little grandson, don't say that this child is really a bit unique, he doesn't cry or make trouble, he babbles twice when he is hungry and needs to change diapers, and he continues to stay quietly when he is done, and the neighbors around him say that this child will be terrible. Li's father and mother are also curious about Xiao Li's uniqueness, but it's always a good thing that the child doesn't cry or make trouble, especially when he doesn't need to get up in the middle of the night to coax, which makes the two love it, after all, everyone wants to be able to rest well.
Time is also moving forward little by little. On this day, Xiaohu (Xiao Li's nickname, born in the Year of the Tiger) came to the 100-year-old banquet, the family gathered, and Xiaohu also had his own name - Li Xiang, as in the previous life, Lao Li's head was raised, and there was a beautiful meaning of ideal homonym in it.
In 89, Li Xiang was 3 years old, maybe it was the welfare of rebirth, Li Xiang's memory was particularly good, he could memorize Tang poetry after teaching, and he could speak it when he heard it in English, and the name of the little genius was famous far and wide. Li Xiang also has a very clear plan for the future, and he didn't have any other strengths in his previous life: he didn't understand finance, he didn't buy lottery tickets, and he didn't watch games. So it's basically impossible to make a fortune from these things, and I remember extremely limited novels and music, and TOEFL is good at the massive movies I usually watch, and the only thing I'm good at is movies. And the Chinese film market will not really start until the release of "Hero" in 02. So Li Xiang is not in a hurry, he will only be 16 years old by then, painting, music, writing, photography, these are all the abilities that a top director needs to have, he needs to learn a lot of things, and in the future, he will definitely go to the best film school and systematically re-learn film directing.
This year, a major event also happened in the Li family, after a long period of ideological struggle, Li's father quit his job in a government agency and went to the sea to start a business with his office director. I forgot to mention that his director's surname is Wang, and the company he founded is called Wanda.
