Chapter 1 Peach Blossom Eyes
June 2008, Beijing Film Academy.
“I heard that Liu Tianxian went to Hollywood.”
“With the bonus of The King of Kung Fu, it would be a good choice for her to go to Hollywood.”
“What a choice! Forced Yes! If she offends Hua Yi, she will no longer be able to survive in domestic entertainment.”
"Who is Huayi? Tianxian's godfather is worth billions, so why are you afraid of Huayi?"
"The entertainment industry does not only rely on money. Jingtian in our class is rich enough, isn't it?" It’s not popular.”
Liu Tianxian went to Hollywood to pursue a career. The three boys talked about it. In the end, no one could convince anyone. They all looked at Li Mingyang, who was sitting in the corner, smoking and watching a movie.
"Mingyang, we have been discussing for so long, aren't you a fairy fan? Why don't you say anything?" Zhang Ruoyun looked at the boy sitting in the corner and said.
The boy has handsome facial features, short hair of 37 cents, tall and thin legs, and a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, like a puddle of autumn water. He is very beautiful.
"What are you talking about? Does it have anything to do with me whether she is good or not? All I care about now is whether the school is willing to invest in my movie." Li Mingyang said with a smile.
Last month Li Mingyang handed over the script of "Love Like a Bouquet" to Tian Zhuangzhuang, director of the directing department. Director Tian thought the script was good and agreed to help.
“It’s been so long, I guess there’s no chance.”
“You’re from the acting department, and you’re trying to steal the directing department’s job... It’s impossible without the money flowing to outsiders.”
>
“You can’t say that. Last year, Brother Li’s micro-movie Goodbye Jinhua Station became a sensation on the Internet, with more than 20 million clicks on the Internet.”
"Microfilms can't make money, and the number of clicks counts as one click."
After a while, everyone started arguing again.
Young people are so angry...
As the central figure in the quarrel, Li Mingyang lit a cigarette, and his thoughts followed the smoke.
Li Mingyang is a reborn person.
A year ago, he attended the reunion of the 2007 Beijing Film Academy classmates. Because he was not recognized by the mainstream film and television industry, he drank too much that day and became drunk. When he woke up, he was back to the day when he first entered the freshman year.
God was deeply afraid that he would not be successful, so he gave him a system.
He didn't take it seriously at the time, because he was not a waste.
He is the director of Hexagon.
He is good at screenwriting, arranging, directing actors, coordinating, storyboarding, editing... he is good at it all.
Similar to his senior brother Zhang Songwen, he was also a late bloomer.
Lao Zhang became famous all over the world by riding fast.
And he relied on filming short dramas to rise all the way to the top of Penguin Video.
In 2017, Li Mingyang came into contact with short plays. With the mentality of giving it a try, he wrote, directed, and acted. Ten thousand!
While other film and television companies were engaged in large-scale productions of big IPs, big stars, Li Mingyang opened a short drama company in Hengdian and found two online writers to film the return of the King of Soldiers and the rebirth of the city. , Urban Miracle Doctor, Boss Mary Sue...
In just four years, the short drama company of three people developed into a film and television company with more than 600 people.
In 2022, his film and television company was acquired by Penguin, and he became a senior executive of Penguin Video.
In 23 years, he left Penguin because the internal struggle was too fierce.
As a middle-aged man with financial freedom, unmarried and no children, he is ready to be willful and make a mainstream movie.
I bought the rights to "Love in a Bouquet" and prepared the script for a remake.
However, the market positions him as a short play director. No one is willing to invest and no one is optimistic about him.
After running around for more than half a year, I got nothing.
While attending a class reunion, while still drunk, he said to Jingtian: "I could become a great director, but I learned acting and worked as a bit player for ten years. The thing I regret most in my life is Admitted to the acting department of Beijing Film Academy..."
Then... I woke up and was reborn.
It was the first day of enrollment at Beijing Film Academy, and he became a member of the acting department of Beijing Film Academy.
A system that was picked up for free was not used in vain. Li Mingyang studied his own system - the box office system.
A system that relies on making movies, making money at the box office, and drawing draws. As a bonus for newbies, you can draw a prize for free, and you can get a skill in one shot.
One year has passed...
In addition to sleeping with his good classmate Jing Tian, he spent another thousand yuan to shoot a micro-movie "Goodbye Jinhua" Station", apart from being slightly famous, there is no difference from the previous life.
The director circle in 2007 was too difficult. Directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan were moving north in large numbers. There were too many directors in the mainland market. He was young and no one was willing to invest in him.
Jing Tian was willing to support him and gave him one million...and then her family found out.
Jing Tian followed the advice of his family and broke up with him.
As for the one million, the bank cards were frozen, so the money was naturally gone.
I lost my wife and lost my troops.
It wasn't much better in 2008. The market was so big that it was difficult for newcomers to get ahead, so he had no choice but to shoot the micro-movie "Goodbye Jinhua Station". It became popular, but there was no money to be made.
In this era, there is no Huya Douyu, no live streaming, no Taobao selling dramas, no self-media, no Weibo...it is extremely difficult to monetize traffic.
Finally, he decided on Beijing Film Academy. The school had a special film support fund.
Buzzing...
The phone vibrated, interrupting Li Mingyang's thoughts. When he came to his senses, he took out his phone and saw that it was Director Tian's call.
"I have found a lot of people about you. The places in the school are full, and China Film Group is very interested in your script."
Li Mingyang knew what the other party was planning as soon as he heard it, "Yes. There are many people interested in the script.”
“Don’t you want to hear the price?”
“How much?”
“One hundred thousand, this price is already an exception. Well, think about it carefully and give me a reply tomorrow night at the latest.”
"Don't think about it, I won't sell it."
Li Mingyang hung up the phone, and there was a sudden silence in the room. The three of them looked at him with sympathetic eyes.
"I'm going for a walk."
Li Mingyang can't stand the sympathy of others, because sympathy is the mercy of the superior to the weak.
After ten years of playing a small role, Li Mingyang has seen through the people and things in the entertainment industry.
When he was in school, he and Dayun were in the same dormitory, and they were the best at playing together. He also had a good relationship with Tan Songyun.
In the end, all his resources came out by himself.
The two never pulled him.
His life is no different from that of an extra.
Later, he relied on short plays to become a senior executive of Penguin Video. His classmates and alumni, who once ignored him, looked down upon him and looked down upon him.
In the entertainment industry, you must be famous or profitable to be respected by others, otherwise you can only be pitied!
In the afternoon on the Beijing Film Academy campus, cicadas are chirping, beauties are like clouds, their long skirts are fluttering, and they are full of the flavor of youth.
Li Mingyang likes to look at beautiful women, but since he developed peach blossom eyes, he rarely looks at beautiful women again.
Because his peach blossom eyes attack indiscriminately, if the four eyes are facing each other, you can increase your favor, but only for the opposite sex.
It doesn’t happen overnight, it’s full as soon as it comes up, and it doesn’t just add it once.
But slowly, slowly deepening.
Li Mingyang is 1.8 meters tall and has handsome features. He has been handsome since he was young and got into Beijing Film Academy based on his face.
He is already very handsome, and with his peach blossom eyes, just looking at each other can make the hearts of passing girls speed up and make their hearts flutter.
If you already have a certain fondness for him and look at him often, you will fall in love with him.
Jing Tian fell in love with peach blossom eyes...
