Chapter 89: America, Mr. Li is attending...
America and Mr. Li are currently participating in a talk show. After they became popular after participating in "The Walking Dead III", many shows wanted to invite them both.
Mr. Li also remembered what Li Daohua said: there is no need to be servile. The more servile you are, the more others will look down on you.
For details, you can refer to Li Daohua. Although Li Daohua's reputation in America is quite polarized, her reputation is already very good compared with other Dongda students.
No matter how bad-tempered Li Daohua is, there are people who can explain it. She is just such a crazy person and she is so crazy wherever she goes. Everyone should understand.
When you want to please others, there will always be people who dislike you. It is better to draw a clear line with those who dislike you from the beginning and play with those who like you.
It was also during this time that Mr. Li finally realized how good it felt to become famous in America, even if it was just a small fame.
It’s not that it’s so superior in America, but in Hong Kong Island.
Ever since The Walking Dead III was released, Hong Kong Island has been bustling.
At the beginning, it was said that Mr. Li lowered his own status and went to America to play a small supporting role, and his career was not going well, blah blah.
After he became popular, the atmosphere changed and he was praised for making a small investment to achieve great success, not choosing the best but the most suitable, and being the first person to enter the US after Bruce Lee...
In short, although Mr. Li is no longer in Hong Kong Island, his career in Hong Kong has made further progress.
This made him very glad that he chose to change jobs at that time, otherwise, he didn't know who would have received such great wealth.
The success of this trip to the United States actually has little to do with him. If someone with some martial arts skills and who is serious and dedicated has replaced him, he will most likely succeed.
So every time on an interview show, when mentioning someone he is grateful to, Mr. Li would mention Li Daohua.
This actually also helps to increase his own traffic. After all, Li Daohua also has a certain number of fans in America.
There are also programs that will take advantage of the situation and let Mr. Li call Li Daohua to ask her when her new novel will be published.
Li Daohua was busy, so she just said it would be very quick.
As soon as Li Sheng heard it, he knew that this was just said casually, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait to write it down.
But people in America took it seriously. Not only ordinary readers, but even Ian believed it. Ian was ready to print and publish it immediately as soon as Li Daohua wrote it.
After waiting for a few months, Ian called Li Daohua to ask how the new novel was going, what stage it was at, and whether it needed any advance marketing.
"Ah? What new novel?" Li Daohua was very confused. She had forgotten about the previous phone call.
"You said before that the new novel will be written soon. The audience heard you when Mr. Li called you."
After Ian explained for a long time, Li Daohua finally realized that the strange call she received from Mr. Li before was actually caused by a TV program.
"No, no, that was just a casual remark. I don't have any plans in the short term."
Day after day, she calls herself a model worker among authors, and she doesn't believe anyone dares to disagree.
She has been working very hard, why can't she take a break?
Li Daohua is watching "Green Mountains and Pine Trees", which is a rebroadcast. This martial arts drama has gained high national popularity this year.
Although the plot is not particularly outstanding, the fighting scenes are very good.
Whether it is a child or an adult, the whole shot is shot in one shot, very smoothly.
More importantly, Li Daohua was also present during the filming. She likes real-life fighting and likes to choose the time and shooting angle.
In this era, even in film and television studios, there are very few shooting techniques, but in other areas, we can use our brains to make up for the shortcomings.
But in terms of high technology, cameras are expensive, few people know how to use them, and people don't dare to tinker with them. If they really break, they really can't afford the compensation.
So the cameraman is also very straightforward. He uses whatever he has learned and uses whichever shooting parameters are most convenient for him without changing them.
Li Daohua is different, she likes to tinker. If the cameraman cannot take the picture she is satisfied with, she will change it. If the cameraman cannot change it, she will do it herself.
Just like that, the pictures shot out made Zhang Xinyan feel incredible, and even movies could not capture such a texture.
There is no overexposure in many TV dramas. The sky is blue, the trees are green...
Many TV dramas and movies at that time failed to capture clear water and blue sky. On the one hand, it was a problem with the camera, and on the other hand, it was overexposed, making the characters look white.
Not only in the inland areas, but also in Hong Kong Island, the ratings of "Green Mountains and Green Pines" have been soaring.
People in Hong Kong have always criticized Li Daohua for not being able to write martial arts novels, but after watching this drama, they no longer say that.
The smart thing about Li Daohua is that she directly filmed the novel into a TV series.
Perhaps some novels may fail when adapted into TV series, but that usually happens under the premise that the novel itself is excellent and very attractive to readers.
For fans of the original novel, they have their own imaginary novel world in their minds, and it is difficult for the TV series to coincide with the world in their minds.
If no one has ever read the novel, or the novel itself is mediocre, it is easier to succeed if it is adapted into a TV series, thereby boosting the novel in reverse.
This is what Li Daohua did this time.
The success of "Green Mountains and Unripe Pines" has led many people in Hong Kong to believe that Li Daohua also has a certain talent in writing martial arts novels.
Some people even called on Li Daohua to write a martial arts novel. It has been a long time since there has been a new hit martial arts novel.
Everyone wants Li Daohua to write a new novel as soon as possible, but Li Daohua is focusing on "He is in the Sunshine".
"He's in the Sunshine" was successfully released a month after she returned home.
Of course, the first cities to be screened were the big cities, and Beijing was the best among them. Before the release, Li Daohua had watched the whole film and was very satisfied with it. The post-production editing was also very good, and it had all the feelings she wanted.
The villain principal, Li Daohua gave him extra red envelopes, and it was not easy for him. After filming this movie, I'm afraid he will be stereotyped and he can only play bad guys in the future.
The red envelope was very thick. When the villain principal, who had almost adjusted himself, received the red envelope, he was flattered and refused it repeatedly, saying that he couldn't accept it.
He received a salary subsidy for making this movie, and the studio had paid it to him without a penny in arrears. Moreover, it was already very good for him to have a movie to shoot.
Nowadays, the competition among actors is very fierce. Everyone works hard, but the number of TV series and movies produced by the studios each year is limited, so it is a blessing to have a role to play.
He didn't want to leave a bad impression on his leader because of something else.
"Your leaders know about the red envelope, so don't worry. Take the red envelope and stay at home for a while. I'm afraid that some people will have bad thoughts about you because of your role."
Knowing that his leader allowed him to accept the red envelope and seeing the signal given by his leader, the villain principal happily accepted the red envelope.
"It's okay. I've played villains before. Everyone knows it's acting. It's okay. I'm used to being a villain, and everyone is used to me being a villain."
Li Daohua hopes that he will remain so optimistic after the movie is broadcast.
He is an actor, and being in the middle of it, he doesn't have the opportunity to see too many complete scenes, so he can't really feel the feeling that this character gives people.
The movie was not scheduled in theaters. Scheduling movies in theaters also has costs, such as venue fees, labor costs...all of these cost money.
All this money has to be earned back by selling movie tickets.
So their free movie is not suitable for showing in theaters.
Fortunately, there have always been projectionists, and there are professional projectionists everywhere. It is because of them that many rural areas can watch the movies provided free of charge by the state.
I heard that there are free open-air movies on Sundays, so many people made plans to go watch them with their acquaintances, including young couples.
Going to the movies is one of the few date activities for young couples. After watching the movie, they can express their opinions on the movie, so they naturally have something to talk about.
Open-air movies are played at night. You can’t see them clearly during the day, and the night sky serves as a natural blackout curtain.
Lin Jinfeng invited Li Daohua and others to go to the movies together, and many people in the alley went there.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I've got a good seat for you, sit in the front so you can see clearly."
"No, I want to sit in the back, Mom, let's sit in the back so it's convenient for us to go home when the show is over."
"You unlucky child, didn't you like sitting in the front seat the most?" Even though Li Daohua disliked the seat she had finally got, Lin Jinfeng still sat in the back seat with Li Daohua without saying a word.
There are so many people watching the movie. What if the children get lost or meet bad guys when the movie ends?
Li Daohua is already 25 years old, but Lin Jinfeng and others still subconsciously treat her as a child who needs protection.
After dinner, many people came to the open space where the movie was being shown with their stools. The crowd was noisy, and there were children running and jumping around the periphery.
When the white curtain came on and people knew that the movie was about to begin, the noise gradually died down.
Many of these families have televisions, like Li Daohua's family, but their own televisions cannot compare with free movies.
One is that I heard that this movie was just made and has never been shown before. Another is that free movies are free, but watching them on TV at home costs electricity.
The first thing that appeared was the poster of "He's in the Sunshine", which stayed there for a long time. Some people noticed the clever little idea, while others didn't. It doesn't matter, because this movie won't be shown just once.
Next comes the feature film.
When many people hear the name of the movie, "He's in the Sunshine", they naturally imagine that it is a sunny and positive movie.
I never expected that her best skill was to lure people in and kill them.
By the time the audience realized what kind of movie this was in the middle, it was too late to get out.
The kind that can't get out of it either physically or mentally.
There were so many people watching the movie that it was difficult to leave until the show was over. In addition, the audience was also very disappointed because they couldn't see the bad guys being dealt with.
When the first little girl hanged herself because she couldn't bear the pressure of public opinion, the whole audience was silent.
This kind of public pressure is not only experienced by this little girl. Some people who had lived through it ten years ago would have also experienced it.
Even an adult who has experienced many battles finds it difficult to accept it. Some commit suicide, while others fight back violently later on. Those who can remain firm in their beliefs are all talented.
Under such circumstances, the little girl hanged herself because she could not bear the pressure of public opinion.
What’s horrifying is that when she was being violated, she thought about asking for help and saving herself, but in the end she died at the hands of the society she thought would save her.
There are also children who were originally lively and cheerful, but after being sexually assaulted, they become silent and even crazy, which makes it easier for the beastly principal to take advantage of them.
In the movie, the campus bathed in sunshine looks more like a devil's cave.
At the end of the movie, more and more children bravely stood up, one after another, like moths to a flame, saving themselves and others.
Some people stayed in that devil's cave forever, while others finally escaped from it.
But, will it really be the end if we escape from there?
The ending of the movie is the subsequent development of a little girl who escapes from the devil's cave.
She often had nightmares about her time at school, and she didn't dare tell anyone what she had been through, not even those close to her, because she had been backstabbed more than once.
"But they have never done anything wrong, yet they have to bear the consequences. This is unfair. They are the ones who should be in the sun."
The final scene is this passage.
When seeing the villain principal and his accomplices being sentenced to death, many people breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the huge stone that had been weighing on their hearts had been removed.
Some people think that the movie ends perfectly here, and they prepare to pack up and go home while cursing the villain principal with the people around them.
When I saw what happened to the little girl afterwards, that feeling of having a huge stone pressing on my heart came back, and this time there was no way to move it away.
When the movie really ended, many people were not in a hurry to leave, and were all thinking about the ending lines of the movie.
Yes, this matter was the beastly principal’s fault from beginning to end. Why do we have to look down on the victim?
Even after they put themselves in the girl's shoes, they found that they would also think that the girl was bad and look down on her at the first moment, while the perpetrator disappeared.
After the movie is made, they will focus on the beastly principal. What if the movie is not made? Will they ask who hurt the girl? Will they help the girl to get revenge?
Everyone has his or her own answer in his or her heart.
After reading it, Lin Jinfeng felt upset and remembered many things.
Similar things happen around them a lot, but unfortunately, no one takes pictures of them, and no one knows the pain of the victims.
Some people will single out the victim and laugh at him. Isn't this the same public opinion that forced the little girl to death in the movie?
She didn't feel anything before, but now that she thinks about it, she really deserves to die.
"Shooting the principal is still too light a punishment. I think he should be tortured to death!" Lin Jinfeng said viciously.
It was as if if the villain principal was in front of her right now, she would be able to torture him to death.
The villain principal is also watching the movie right now. As the biggest villain in the movie, I can be considered an important character.
More importantly, in this drama, there is no male or female protagonist. Many people seem to be the male and female protagonists, but you don’t know when they will die. This is the most realistic thing.
He is the one who has the most scenes. In his mind, he calls himself the male lead, the No. 1 male role, but this No. 1 male role is the villain.
The family members who came to watch the movie with him all wanted to see the role he played. When they mentioned it to their neighbors later, they also had things to say about how great their son (husband) was and how well he played the role.
"Sometimes, you don't have to act so well..." the villain principal's mother said quietly.
After watching this movie, she had some opinions about her son and felt that her son was not a good person at all.
Especially when the flickering light of the movie shines on the face of the villain principal sitting in the crowd, he looks even worse.
"Are you planning something bad? You shameless bastard!"
Suddenly he was scolded by his own mother. The villain principal also looked innocent. Was this a sudden illness?
When the movie ended, people were cursing the villain principal, saying that he died too easily.
"If I meet this guy, I will beat him so hard that he won't even recognize me!"
As the man said this, he turned around and saw the villain principal, who was currently furious because he was scolded by his family, and his face did not look good.
This expression is exactly the same as the one in the movies when someone does something bad.
When the man turned around and saw him, his heart skipped a beat and his ambitions were gone. He had spoken so loudly before, partly because he was scared by the villain principal when watching a movie.
The pitch-black viewing environment and the purely bad characters make me afraid of encountering bad guys when walking on the road at night.
Now we are facing the biggest villain, how can we not be afraid?
"Principal...Principal..." The man's trembling voice attracted the people around him.
The feeling of one person is different from that of a group of people.
Everyone was already feeling angry after seeing what happened later, and when they saw the villainous principal, their anger grew even higher.
"Kill him! Kill the principal!"
The real principal in the crowd shuddered, and then he remembered that everyone was talking about the villain principal in the movie. Later he heard that the villain principal was right in front.
Otherwise, how can they be called intellectuals? They reacted immediately and shouted for everyone to calm down, saying that they were just watching a movie and the other party was an actor, not a real bad guy!
"You protect him so much, are you his accomplice?" The principal looked at the surging crowd around him, then looked at his own old arms and legs.
I didn't dare to shout anymore, I just begged the other party to calm down and not to cause any casualties.
Fortunately, this is Beijing, with a high level of security. In addition, there was a riot by football fans some time ago, so the public security department has some experience in dealing with such situations.
Soon the movie riot was successfully quelled, but the source of the riot disappeared.
The villain principal had already fled before the police arrived. If he had really resisted until then, he might have been dead.
At that time, when the first person recognized him, his family quickly distanced themselves from him to prevent him from being looked down upon.
When more and more people recognized him, the situation changed. His wife was the first to react. She took off her red coat and covered his head with it.
His parents took action and pulled him out of the chaotic crowd.
With such a quick reaction, the villain principal had received many beatings, and his parents were also beaten while trying to pull him away.
A family of four returned home injured, and when they got home, they were criticized again.
The final conclusion was that he was told not to go out recently, because if he went out again, they couldn't guarantee that they would be able to bring him back successfully every time.
"It's okay to fish in troubled waters at night, but you can't do anything during the day, so you can only touch the corpse. I don't want to send off the young when I am old." The villain principal's father made the decision that he was not allowed to go out, and they would not mention him when they went out.
As for the neighbors who knew him, they said he was on a business trip and had not returned yet and was not at home.
The villain principal only now realized that it was really difficult to get the red envelope from Li Daohua. If he had known this earlier, he would have been more justified.
