Chapter 36 If we talk about this during the filming of the drama, Li Sanzhu will not...

If this were to happen, Li Sanzhu would no longer be sleepy. He also knew that his daughter's novel would be adapted into a movie called Billionaire.

I regretted that I couldn't see this movie, but I didn't expect that someone could get it.

"Look, look, how much money does your billionaire have?"

The scalper who was secretly selling CDs was startled. He turned around and saw Li Sanzhu looking at him happily. He looked him up and down and made sure that he was the buyer before speaking.

"Twenty dollars."

"How much? It's so expensive, are you robbing me?"

Twenty yuan is almost as much as a senior worker's salary. For someone like Li Sanzhu who has no salary, it is natural that he would be reluctant to spend it.

In fact, Li Daohua gave them money, but they themselves were reluctant to spend it.

"You think it's too expensive, but I think it's too expensive too. This is the original soundtrack, more than 100 minutes long. Go ask around and see if you can buy it for 20 bucks."

Many of these original soundtrack videotapes are bought by students or schools for watching movies and practicing foreign languages, but few ordinary people buy them.

The videotapes in the scalpers' hands are not genuine ones, but transcribed tapes from the south.

Li Sanzhu had never come across this kind of thing before, and he really didn't know if he could buy it for 20 yuan outside. Just as he was about to bargain, he heard a commotion around him.

“Run!”

The scalper didn't even bother to sell the discs and just turned around and ran away. Li Sanzhu also realized that the police had arrived and ran after them.

He quickly overtook the scalper, turned into the alley, and quickly disappeared in front of the scalper's shocked gaze.

He has been in Peking for several months now, and he has not been idle during these months. Every day, he goes out for a walk or buys groceries, and quickly gets to know the surrounding area.

As for running fast, as a soldier who participated in battles in this era, running fast is a must, otherwise you will never be able to catch the enemy.

"It's a pity that I couldn't buy your videotape." Li Sanzhu was still sighing when he came back.

"You can just buy the genuine version later. It just takes a while. Then let Ouyang buy it."

After Ouyang Yuan left, she called her uncle to inform him that when Li Sanzhu was at home, they had mentioned that there would be a chance for the children to come to Beijing to try their luck.

Li Fengshou and his family have grown up and graduated. Their academic performance was not very good and they could not get into school. Li Zhuzi has a daughter, Li Maihua, who is five years younger than Li Daohua. She is fifteen this year and is in junior high school.

Her academic performance has always been among the best in the class. Her family originally planned to let her take the entrance exam for a technical secondary school so that she could start working early. The jobs that technical secondary school students can be assigned are quite good, although nowadays it is not necessarily possible to start working immediately.

During the Chinese New Year, after hearing about this, Li Daohua suggested that she take the high school entrance exam and go to college.

"If she can get into college, I will cover all her tuition and living expenses, so you don't have to worry about it. The others are not good enough to get in, so it's hard to find a girl who can study, so let her study."

Li Zhuzi asked Li Maihua to thank her sister at that time. In fact, he had been a soldier and received education in the army, and he also knew the importance of culture.

He knew that being a college student was a good thing, but their village was poor. Although there were subsidies for college education, the annual tuition was still a heavy burden for a family like theirs.

Li Fenghuo was old enough to get married, and he was lame. Even with Li Sanzhu's care, the family was still tight on money.

Letting Li Fengshou and Li Fenghuo come to Beiping now will also be beneficial to their families.

They are currently living in this courtyard house next to Nanhai. When Li Fengshou and his friends come, they will live in the small courtyard house they lived in before. "Oh, when I think about your novel being made into a movie, Dad is excited. I just want to see it sooner rather than later."

Li Daohua was just about to suggest that Ian should mail it directly from America, and then she would secretly pay extra money to have him fly, which would be faster, when there was a knock on the door of her house.

"Who is it? Come in." The door of her house was rarely closed during the day. There was a screen wall facing the front door, so one could not see directly into the yard.

Besides, they are usually at home, so they don’t have to worry about not knowing someone is coming.

"Who are you?" Li Daohua had never seen these people before.

"We are from the Peking Film Studio. This is my work ID."

"Oh, it's you. People's Literature told me that you want to film "One Roof", right?"

“Yes, we not only want to shoot “One Roof”, but also want you, the author, to be our advisor.

I think "One Roof" is a very forward-looking work. I am worried that it will not be filmed well and cannot produce a work that satisfies everyone.

I heard that you collected a lot of information and did a lot of homework when you were writing this novel, so I hope you can help us with the direction. "

The filming of "One Roof" was also a task for the Peking Film Studio. Because of its great significance, they wanted to find the original author to review it.

Many times, every director and every screenwriter has his or her own style of doing things. Some directors really don’t like others to interfere with their filming, but this movie was not shot so casually.

"Oh, that means we can also watch this movie." Li Sanzhu was very excited. He didn't even need to buy a videotape.

"Yes, as soon as we finish filming, you can see it in the cinema."

Not only in cinemas, but also in open-air screenings in various places after a period of time.

Li Sanzhu urged Li Daohua to agree.

Since there was no new novel to write recently, Li Daohua simply joined the crew of "One Roof" and started to serve as their advisor since the crew was looking for a filming location.

The story takes place in Peking, and finally finds a small alley some distance away from the city center.

The alley is very narrow and can only accommodate two people side by side. If one person is pushing a bicycle, the other person has to pass sideways.

There are many families living in the alley. When the crew borrows the house, they have to help them find accommodation in advance and help them move.

The negotiation went exceptionally smoothly, and the landlord felt honored that her house was chosen for filming a movie, not to mention that she would not be reduced in rent during this period.

This place is not very convenient to begin with, and the tenants would be willing to live in a better house found by the crew, even if it is just for a period of time.

The crew hadn't started filming yet when Ouyang Yuan came back with Li Fengshou and the others.

He returned to Henan Province and spent some time taking his mother to see his brother. Fortunately, his brother did not lie to him and his injury was indeed not serious.

His brother came with him to Beijing to prepare for the motorcade, and his mother stayed with his brother to help his sister-in-law take care of the children.

"I've been worried my whole life. If I didn't have you, I'd want to live my life freely, but you're my children, and I can't let you worry about me."

When a group of people came to find Li Daohua, the director immediately fell in love with the tall and strong Li Fengshou.

After asking him to make a few expressions and gestures, he decided: "Zeng Fang should be like this, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, young, and able to accept new things..."

Afterwards, Li Daohua privately approached the director and asked him if it was because of her relationship that Li Fengshou was allowed to play the leading male role. That was unnecessary. Li Fengshou was so young and had just come from the countryside, so it was not a good thing for him to suddenly become famous.

“Comrade Daohua, you are wrong. I also attach great importance to this drama. You may not know that we have been searching for Zeng Fang for a long time and have not been able to choose the right one.

Even now, there are always two actors in the running, and I know best whether they are suitable or not."

Li Fengshou was so excited about the fact that he was going to make a movie that he wanted to call home immediately to tell his mother that he was going to make a movie.

However, as a result, Ouyang Yuan's convoy, which already had only a few people, lost another person, leaving only three people.

They also had to buy a car, a big truck, and register it under the name of the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications Library.

"I think that in 1990, Zeng Fang's family could have home appliances such as a TV, telephone, refrigerator, washing machine, etc., all of which could be domestic brands."

Towards the end of filming, Zeng's mortgage was no longer a burden on the family, and they began to purchase various home appliances.

The novel also writes that the Zeng family would purchase a new large household appliance almost every year.

"You can have a computer, but you guys can't make this communication equipment. We need something like this."

Li Daohua drew the general appearance of a mobile phone. Later, because Zeng Fang's factory closed down, he went into business and became a famous businessman. He had to carry a mobile phone with him to facilitate communication with customers. This became a standard feature of businessmen later on.

Because no one had ever seen a mobile phone, the crew designed a mobile phone that was a complete extended version of the telephone.

There is a base on the waist and a microphone in the hand, which looks like a smaller version of the mobile base station used on the battlefield in the past.

"This is a bit..." Although the mobile phone was very large, it was still incredible to people at that time that mobile phones could achieve this level, especially since it was less than ten years ago.

They are not planning to shoot this as a science fiction drama, but a documentary.

"Don't worry, I have also done some research on this. Similar mobile phones already exist overseas, but the technology is not yet mature. But soon, you will be able to see them in foreign film and television works."

The director took a deep breath. This writer had really done his homework. Nothing in his writing was random, whether it was about the economic trends or the development of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The more he filmed, the more he felt that this novel would become more and more popular. In five or ten years, people would be surprised to find that "One Roof" would never be outdated.

Li Daohua's seemingly optimistic fantasy about the future seems to become a true portrayal of the future.

The news that "One Roof" was being prepared for filming spread very early.

There are fewer filming tasks now and the employees are all dedicated to their work. From the time Li Daohua accepted the invitation, the filming of "One Roof" was completed in two months. It is just waiting for the editing to be completed and officially put on the big screen.

During the filming period, Ouyang Yuan told Li Daohua that Li Fengshou was not in good condition recently.

Li Fengshou and the others live together, and with a little attention it is easy to find out that Li Fengshou might be in a relationship.
