At 2:45 a.m. on October 22, 2009, the match between Real Madrid and AC Milan officially began, the two sides of the game are the two teams that have won the most titles in the history of the Champions League, they have countless honors and glory, their duel is full of drama, they stand together and there are countless topics, in short, this is a game that attracts football fans from all over the world, and it is the most eye-catching game of this Champions League.

In a small rental room in the middle of nowhere, Li Xiuping sits on the bed, with a laptop in front of him, and three bottles of beer, a box of spicy phoenix feet and two packets of peanuts next to him. Li Xiuping held the wine glass, but he didn't move, his eyes were staring at the computer screen, he felt his heart beating faster and faster, but he didn't dare to take a breath, he was too nervous.

Li Xiuping borrowed 50,000 yuan from Da Mi Mi, and then registered a gambling @ ball account, recharged 50,000, and then after several days of waiting, Li Xiuping put all the money in this Champions League game, he bought a score of 2:3, 26 times the odds, higher than Li Xiuping's impression, if the result of the game is 2:3 in memory, then Li Xiuping will get a return of 1.3 million.

"Real Madrid Milan brothers, please. ”

Four hours later, a burst of laughter came from the rental house, and it was a little scary in the middle of the night, but the HD acting was much more crazy, and the residents were used to it.

The game between Real Madrid and Milan ended, the score was really 2:3, Li Xiuping's account was 1.3 million more, but the turnover was not enough, he couldn't take it out, he then played a few games, the result was that there was no plug-in, he lost as much as he played. lost 200,000 yuan in just one and a half hours, but fortunately he had enough money at this time, and he immediately took out all the remaining money, and about half an hour later, the mobile phone text message came, and his bank account was 1.15 million more.

With a profit of 1.1 million in one game, Li Xiuping was excited, and the first step of his plan was completed.

Li Xiuping decided not to buy football anymore, even if he remembered the results of the second leg between Real Madrid and Milan, he didn't buy it, because he registered his account with a real ID card and mobile phone number, if he won in a row, he was not allowed to sue him for non-@ gambling, and if he handed over the stolen money at that time, then he would really cry without crying, as the so-called greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, 1.1 million is already a lot, and the filming of "Wan Maru Unexpected" should be enough.

The next day, Li Xiuping returned the money to Da Mi Mi, "50,000 yuan, a lot." ”

Da Mi Mi saw the prompt message of the mobile phone remittance to the account, "How did you do it? I lent you a few days? Five days, isn't it, you got it, how much did you earn?"

Li Xiuping smiled, "Secret." ”

"And what are you going to do with it?"

"Secret. ”

"Stingy man," Da Mi Mi rolled his eyes, "Go away, I'm going to act." ”

Li Xiuping didn't care about Da Mi Mi's attitude, he left with a smile, he had money on him, and he was much more confident and calm.

In the days that followed, Li Xiuping was still the same as in the past, selling coolies when he had something to do, and wandering around when he had nothing to do, but at this time he was more generous, not only smoking and giving sugar, but also often inviting photographers and gaffers to eat and drink, and they seemed to have become good brothers who talked about everything.

Li Xiuping's purpose is very simple, that is, to communicate more with these technicians, he doesn't care if they are bragging or telling the truth, he is willing to listen, the longer he is in the crew, the more he feels that the details are very important, many times the shooting stops, it is not the actor's problem, but the poor management of the equipment, or the filming staff has made mistakes, how to avoid these problems, how to solve them, these Li Xiuping does not know, he is very clear about his shortcomings, so he is willing to spend money and time to make up for it.

Li Xiuping didn't know if what he heard was useful, anyway, he had to memorize several pages of "new knowledge" every day, and the more he listened and watched, the more he felt that he had underestimated the filming on the set before, if it weren't for his eagerness to shoot his own works, Li Xiuping might have gone to the film academy to major in directing and systematically learn the shooting of TV and movies.

"Am I too anxious, my current age is only twenty-three years old, and it has only been three or four years since I entered the film academy for further study, and I am only twenty-six or seventeen years old at the end of my studies, and I am not old...... No, my biggest advantage is that I know exactly where the movies are going to be in the next few years, and I have to make enough money in these years, or get a certain level of fame in the directorial world so that I can make films, and three or four years is still too long, I can't wait. ”

"Now study hard, learn as much as you can. ”

In this way, Li Xiuping in the crew of "Unruly New Brew" continues to learn, continuous progress, he almost knows more than the assistant director in charge of the crew of various types of employees, hundreds of technical employees in the crew, Li Xiuping has left the contact information of the vast majority of people, through these employees, he also joined some professional groups, such as HD cameraman group, such as HD lighting engineer group, and there is some information in these groups, which makes Li Xiuping very happy, and he has gained "new knowledge".

Happy and fulfilling days are always short-lived, the directors and producers of "Brutal New Brew" have no ambitions, they just want to sell some money and earn some living expenses, they never thought of making a classic TV series that can win awards, so the filming progress is very fast, as long as the passable shots are basically given, the result was completed at the end of November, in just two months, a TV series with more than 30 episodes was filmed, how fast it is, but this is a normal shooting speed in Huaxia.

Li Xiuping disdains the filming of this kind of fast food drama, but he can't help it, "These directors and producers still have no fear in shooting shoddy TV series, the reason is that the shooting is bad or there are audiences to watch, why do the audience watch bad movies, because many middle-aged and elderly TV viewers don't know how to surf the Internet, what the TV station gives, they watch what, they have no choice, so the producer of bad movies is responsible for broadcasting the media and the audience." So what can I do? Can I change that?"

On the night of the completion of "Unruly New Brew", the crew chartered a big hotel, feasted all the staff, and the director and the audience were all drinking, eating meat and blowing water, but Li Xiuping didn't move, he was still thinking about the problems of the day, he thought deeply about his life goal for the first time after crossing over, what did he come for.

As a director, being a very powerful director, you can make a lot of movies, influence a lot of people, and make a lot of money, but what is the real purpose of doing this?

"Being a director, no more than me, no less than me, so many years, why did I want to be a director? definitely not to make money, I really want to make money, I have long followed my father to learn to do business, so what is my goal, what is my original intention?"

Li Xiuping remembered an incident before the crossing, that was the first time he sold a script, the buyer was a project manager of a Hollywood film production company in the Huaxia branch, the project manager met Li Xiuping and said to the assistant next to him, "Huaxia's movies are garbage, their directors are a group of idiots, and the audience is also idiots, fortunately with our existence, these excellent scripts will not be left behind, haha, we buy Huaxia's scripts, and then make movies and make Chinese people's money, this is really the most interesting thing in the world." ”

The project manager naturally spoke English, he thought that Li Xiuping couldn't understand, but in fact, Li Xiuping heard it clearly, he wanted to leave at the time, but he wanted to support his family, and selling scripts was the best way for him to make extra money, so he endured it.

But Li Xiuping has always had a sense of anger in his heart that can't be eliminated, he is angry with domestic directors, angry with the audience, angry at himself for not having the ability, he often thinks that if he can make movies, he must make classic movies that can make foreigners have nothing to say and be convinced.

"I understand that my original intention as a director is to make good films, world-renowned films, and I want to make the voice of Chinese filmmakers in the world film industry. ”

Thinking of this, Li Xiuping only felt that he was no longer ordinary, he was a person with great goals, and he felt that no matter what difficulties he encountered in the future, he would have the courage and confidence to face them, "Maybe this is my mission." ”

"Drink and drink!" The crew next to him shouted to drink, interrupting Li Xiuping's inner YY, he took a sip of the beer in the cup, and said in his heart, "Don't care about the future now, finish the script of "Wan Maru Didn't Expect" first, and start filming after the New Year, this will be my first work as a director, and it must be better and better than before the crossing." ”
