Chapter 342: The Twenty-Fourth Letter
"Bang-"
After a soft muffled sound, Li Lizhi, who had just walked into the viewing hall, was bumped by a strong man in front of him before he could react. Before the thin Li Lizhi could adapt to the changes in the light inside and outside the viewing hall, he staggered back two steps, but fortunately he didn't really fall to the ground.
It's just that, apparently, things didn't end so easily......
"Hey! Four-eyed boy, you are bold enough to dare to hit our Feige! A little bastard beside the strong man couldn't help but come forward and push Li Lizhi first, and then made him staggered back two steps.
Li Lizhi was originally a very introverted person, but at this time, he was provoked by these people into a cold sweat, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry, big brothers." ”
"Excuse me? If you say sorry, it's like nothing happened, so what else do you need the police to do? The little bastard continued to shout loudly, causing the few people who had just entered the screening room to avoid them.
Although Li Lizhi knew that he was in charge, a little person like him obviously couldn't fight these mixed clubs, so he had to mumble out his wallet, take out a hundred Hong Kong dollars and say: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, big brother, this money should be used as a little brother to invite the big brother to tea, please don't see outside, don't see outside." ”
"Hmph—"
The little bastard snorted coldly, then snatched the banknote in Li Lizhi's hand, looked at Li Lizhi's wallet and said, "Four-eyed boy, I want to ...... this money."
"Okay, Ah Tang, let's go, Brother Liang is still waiting for us." After watching coldly for a long time, the strong man finally spoke, and probably saw that he couldn't squeeze any oil and water out of Li Lizhi's body, so he waved his hand and led people out.
"Hmph, count your kid lucky today!"
The little bastard, that is, Ah Tang, obviously didn't bother to pay attention to Li Lizhi, and walked out after throwing a cruel word. Li Lizhi only then put away the cold sweat a little. sighed helplessly, he knew the lawlessness of these people as he had lived in public housing since he was a child. Although the social order has been slightly better in the past two years, the dirtiness under the shady curtain is not less at all.
"Whew-"
Look at this trouble. Trouble! With a sigh of relief, Li Lizhi looked at the theater in front of him, which was already full of people. Walk towards your place.
At this time, Li Lizhi, like Ye Weixin some time ago, is also a warehouse manager with a monthly salary of 1,600 Hong Kong dollars. So the 100 Hong Kong dollars he just took out made him bleed heavily. In addition to being busy when the goods enter and leave the station, the warehouse management job is actually an extraordinarily idle occupation.
So Li Lizhi, who is so idle, has become a movie enthusiast.
However, the monthly salary of 1,600 Hong Kong dollars obviously cannot support him to watch movies regularly, so he often goes to school or those small theaters to watch "second-round movies". In this way, he spent nearly a third less on the ticket price of the movie than the ticket price for the premiere.
Money, in addition to earning, also saving......
Of course, those movies that are warmly screened and liked by the people, Li Lizhi still doesn't mind gritting his teeth and spending money to watch a premiere. For example, this time's best-selling "Gambling Saint".
"The Saint of Gambling" is the sequel to "God of Gamblers", this Li Lizhi must know that he also went to see the first round of screenings when "God of Gamblers" was released for half a month, and at that time he was deeply admired by the great director Li Xuan for being able to play such a wonderful gambling trick.
This "Gambling Saint", of course, Li Lizhi can't miss it.
But he wasn't in a hurry at first. The warehouse management work is already idle, and it is not too late to watch it after "The Saint of Gambling" has been released for half a month. But in the past two days, reading the newspapers and rumors, he suddenly found that Director Li Da had changed the way of "God of Gamblers" and played new tricks.
watched the box office of "The Saint of Gambling" rising every day, and listened to the chats and farts between friends and neighbors who had watched the movie. As a movie enthusiast, Li Lizhi feels like a cat's paw scratching.
Finally, he couldn't help it, and ran over to watch the movie on the fourth day of the release of "The Saint of Gambling", but he didn't expect that he would have a big blood as soon as he entered the cinema.
Bah! Bad luck!
Li Lizhi, who was already sitting in the position, took a sip fiercely, and when he was developed one day, he would see who could knead us so casually, and he would not be surnamed Li if he didn't cut his face full of peach blossoms.
Li Lizhi's ambition has grown up for a long time.
The filmmakers who can get ahead in this era are not born in the academy, so naturally that ambition is indispensable. Ye Weixin is like this, Li Guoxin is like this, and even Li Lizhi is like this. Although the warehouse management is easy, the monthly salary is too small, and naturally it cannot meet Li Lizhi's expectations.
As a movie enthusiast, Li Lizhi naturally aimed at the film and television industry. However, he is obviously not sure about being an actor, so he has his eyes on the jobs of those behind-the-scenes workers.
The monthly salary of 1,600 Hong Kong dollars, in addition to setting aside his monthly meal money, as well as the part handed over to his parents as the eldest brother, and subtracting the money for watching movies every month, he used the rest to learn some extracurricular courses in college, such as the introduction of film and television screenwriting.
But the door is easy to see, and the threshold is difficult to enter!
Li Lizhi, who felt that he had already learned something, started his ideal road as early as four months ago, but the reality gave him a blow to the head. He wrote nearly 50 cover letters for TVB and ATV for four months, but they were all lost.
Li Lizhi, who was quite frustrated, was hesitant to send the 24th letter to the two television stations recently.
"Hahaha-"
"This Wu Mengda is really declining!"
"Ah Xing is stupid, but stupid enough."
"Teresa Teng is so sexy!"
“……”
As soon as "The Saint of Gambling" opened, bursts of laughter were remembered in the theater, and Li Lizhi's mood when he had just been 'robbed' was also much better. His eyes gradually penetrated into the movie, and he began to examine the film from the perspective of an amateur screenwriter.
"I'm rubbing, I'm laughing to death, how did the screenwriter of this story come up with it?"
"Ah Xing's decrepit boy, he played his third uncle really miserably!"
"Special function, gambling is too difficult, if only I had a special function."
"Hey, I heard that the mainland is researching special functions."
“……”
The noisy sound in the theater naturally can't be faked, which also proves everyone's love for this movie from the side. Li Lizhi also felt that this "Saint of Gambling" had an appetite for him, and he couldn't help but despise the critics who sang about "The Saint of Gambling" a few days ago.
Later generations still have some controversy about Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical films, not to mention the 84 years that have just passed in the New Wave.
Many old-school film critics criticized this movie, what movie has an unclear theme, what actors are crazy, what the whole film has no connotation, what "The Saint of Gambling" is a movie farce, and even Li Xuan's judgment that he has exhausted his talents has come out.
This disturbing accusation has intensified with the soaring box office of "The Saint of Gambling".
Li Xuan, the party, is even more lazy to quarrel, how can he get it all at once after decades of quarreling in later generations, it is better to let those people continue to scold. Why are there so many thunder dramas in later generations, it's not that the more you scold, the higher the ratings. Now that the more this is scolded, the better the box office of the movie, why not Li Xuan.
As for Jiang Lang's words, just copy a few movies and slap them in the face in the future, why bother talking now.
So in the past few days, the newspapers have been sprinting with all kinds of accusations against the "Gambling Saint", all kinds of words of envy, jealousy and hatred. However, discerning people can see the problem at a glance, no matter how fierce the scolding is, the box office is really hot. Hong Kong is an authentic money society, and the box office determines everything about the movie.
At this time, Li Xuan has raised the gambling film to a higher level, and in the second half of the year, Hong Kong movies are afraid to set off a special function fever.
And now as an amateur screenwriter, Li Lizhi did not think about this movie from the box office or from the connotation, he only thought of one word now - inspirational!
Inspirational? That's right, it's inspirational!
Li Lizhi was born as a grassroots in Hong Kong, and his family has been poor since he was a child. And Ah Xing in the movie is from the mainland, and his life is also very poor. This gives many low-level audiences in Hong Kong a natural sense of substitution.
So much so that Ah Xing finally relied on his special function to kill all sides in Hong Kong and Taiwan to get the beauty, and the audience was even more excited. This is a movie in which the protagonist is promoted and raised, becomes the general manager, becomes the CEO, marries Bai Fumei, and walks to the pinnacle of life.
Now that I think about it, isn't it still a little excited?
This grassroots inspirational movie, although it has a hint of fantasy, is obviously easier to win the support of the Hong Kong public than the 'god' of "God of Gamblers", and the director and script are not weak and the jokes are constant, and it is understandable that the box office is good.
Li Xuan said at the time that the box office of "The Saint of Gambling" would exceed 30 million, but now it seems that it is not an empty word!
Li Lizhi, who has been watching the big screen in the audience, is excited and at the same time, he is also thinking about a question in his heart.
