Chapter 180: The Prodigal Son Has No Tears

(Recommended reading: Li Jin is a cutting-edge director, very young and talented, but he always seems to be a little unlucky.

He was born in a professional class, and his first film made him famous, and he received a lot of applause and flowers. Maybe he has too many ideas and is too persistent, but the next two films are not popular, which is contrary to the mainstream aesthetic taste, so he is getting farther and farther away from the mainstream circle, and falls into the dilemma of having no drama to film.

Long-term adversity will make people doubt themselves and doubt life, Li Jin is at a loss, and is even ready to change careers to make geographical documentaries until ...... Until he suddenly received a script.

This script is called "The Prodigal Son Without Tears".

The script is written by hand, it is very thick, the handwriting is clean and upright, and it is signed by Yang Liu.

Such a name and such a book can't help but arouse his strong interest!

So, Li Jin picked up the lamp and read at night and sank in.

"The Prodigal Son Without Tears".

The main character of the movie is called Goofy.

Goofy is an undercover agent whose purpose is to eradicate a gang's boss, Brother Xiong.

He is highly skilled, dares to fight, and after years of hard work, he finally climbed to the top of the circle.

At the same time, the life of no man and no ghost is also corroding his soul.

He gradually lost the distinction between black and white and suffered from severe depression.

In order to save innocent passers-by, the police decided to close the net in advance, but unfortunately due to the haste of the action and the lack of evidence, Brother Xiong was acquitted, and Gao Fei was exposed.

The girlfriend was in a car accident, my sister jumped off the building, and the "coincidences" of the tragedy happened again and again.

Goofy had no way to ask for help, and his tears were dry.

As a last resort, he silently raised the butcher knife and chose to take revenge alone.

In the end, he killed himself by his girlfriend's grave.

This is not a simple undercover story, but some kind of anatomical critique of human nature. The author's pen is old-fashioned and cold-eyed, giving the character the most realistic dark texture.

Through the script, director Li Jin can feel the coldness, despair, struggle, and coldness revealed between the lines.

He read it in one sitting, and even his blood was boiling!

This is a movie, a pure movie! Just to express ideas, not to please the audience, not to cater to the crowd.

Take a look at the cast list again!

Song Jiajia, the increasingly popular queen, Yang Liu on the cusp, cutting-edge actor Zhuang Yunpeng, popular new star Guan Xiaoqi, veteran actor Han Tongsheng, guest superstar Lu Yu, supermodel Li Ai and so on.

Li Jin has reason to believe that this is a film that is bound to be a big hit, and even become his masterpiece! So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get moving!

So, he soon met Yang Liu.

This former singer, current actor, and investor is full of humble smiles, without a little frivolity and arrogance.

Yang Liu took the initiative to come over to say hello, shake hands, and respect "Brother Li" when he was far away, which made Li Jin flattered and warmed his heart.

Li Jin put his hands together, nodded and said, "Boss Yang is lucky!" ”

Yang Liu sneered: "Brother Li, don't be so vulgar, call your name." ”

Li Jin said: "Hey! ”

Yang Liu personally served tea and poured water, and took good care of it.

Li Jin became more and more satisfied, and felt that he had come to the right place!

He coughed and said, "Brother Yang, how much do we need to invest in the film?" ”

Yang Liu groaned: "Song Jiajia and your salary account for the majority, and the rest is not much, and the cost budget is estimated to be about twenty-five million." ”

Twenty-five million, compared with today's large-scale productions that often cost hundreds of millions, can only be regarded as drizzle, "low cost".

Li Jin said: "Jiajia and I mentioned it once, and she will take the initiative to halve her salary...... Good friends, I can too! ”

Yang Liu smiled: "What is this for?" Totally unnecessary! Do you think I look like a man who is short of money? Rules are rules, and human favors belong to human favors! ”

Yang Liu continued: "I have never liked those stunts flying all over the screen and thundering films, if it weren't for some explosions and flying car shots, this number would definitely be greatly reduced." Movies, in the end, show human nature, and colorful things will only cover up the essence...... You don't have to worry about funding, if necessary, I will continue to add it, and there is no cap ......on it."

The two met late, and they talked for three hours.

In the end, Li Jin said with relief: "Let's sign a contract!" ”

Yang Liu grinned and stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation." ”

After another week of intense preparations, the entire organizational structure has finally settled, and the vanguard of dozens of people has taken the lead in going to the front.

Before leaving, Yang Liu had one more thing to rest assured.

That's his restaurant.

After more than 20 days of twists and turns, the restaurant is finally open again.

At half past ten on the weekend, Yang Liu drove to the scene.

Nian Xiaozhen's Korean-style barbecue opposite has been hung with a sign of "closed for rectification".

Yang Liu was stunned, and then walked into his shop.

Melly was smiling when she saw Willow.

When she came up, she grabbed Yang Liu's arm and said tiredly: "Boss, are you here......"

Yang Liu said: "Hey, hey, hey! Let go of your hands and don't let anyone see them! ”

Melly approached: "It's all closed, how can there be anyone......"

Yang Liu tried to keep a distance: "How's the situation?" ”

Melly said: "Well, the number of customers is less than half of what it used to be, but your reputation is not covered, and it has gradually improved in the past few days, and everything is developing in a good way......

The stone in Yang Liu's chest fell to the ground, nodded and said, "That's good, let's not rush, take your time...... Ay? What's going on on the other side? ”

Melly said, "Who knows? Suddenly it was closed, and I heard that it was going to be changed to a Sichuan restaurant! ”

Yang Liu said: "Well, let it go...... I'm here today to say goodbye to you...... Restaurant, it's all up to you! ”

Melly's face fell: "Where are you going?" ”

Yang Liu said: "Recently, there has been a lot of uproar, and I can't go to school, so I decided to go to other places to make a movie and avoid the limelight......"

Melly said, "Huh? Isn't that a long time since I saw you? ”

Yang Liu said: "It didn't take long, two or three months." ”

Melly's eyes were melancholy, rather gloomy.

She sullenly said, "You're gone...... What about the secret recipe for barbecue? ”

Yang Liu said: "I'll hand it over to my younger brother Yang Shu, what can you discuss...... In addition, you ask Manager Wang Chongsheng to send someone to find Cheng Xin...... Call me when you find it......"

Melly plucked up her courage and said, "Boss...... Why don't I go with you? ”

Yang Liu touched his nose and said in astonishment: "Huh? What do you say? ”

Melly said, "I can be your personal assistant!" You can rest assured, I am diligent and obedient, and I will take care of people to ensure your satisfaction! ”

Belch......

Yang Liu said solemnly: "Thank you, Comrade Meili! You are a very capable and promising female manager, good steel is used on the blade, you should shine in more difficult and important places, and realize your value and dreams......"

Melly pouted: "If you don't want to bring it, just say it, why pretend!" ”

Yang Liu: "......"

Before leaving, Yang Liu made a special call to Yang Shu.

Poplar was delighted, and he said loudly: "No problem guaranteed...... Your restaurant, your noodle shop, and the pretty little girls, I'm sure you'll take care of them! Wowha! You can go with confidence! ”

Why is he so excited about this bad guy?

Yang Liu suddenly had a very ominous premonition in his heart: I won't invite the wolf, right?
