The days without Han Chui around were quite relaxing.
This guy loves to nag all the time, so Liang Liang decided to relax for a few days after kicking him out.
Then, Li Zhizhou arrived.
This guy's mouth is almost as sharp as Han Chui's; just seeing him gives Liang Liang a slight headache.
Liang Liang felt like he hadn't seen this guy for quite some time.
"Brother Li! I heard you went to Africa the other day and were having a great time with some African girls. Why bother? You have a beautiful girlfriend at home. Why did you choose those Africans? Be careful not to get lost when the lights are off at night. I'm telling you, don't bring back any weird diseases."
Li Zhizhou was almost petrified on the spot.
"Who is cursing me with such a vicious curse behind my back? When did I ever go to Africa?"
"Never been to Africa?"
"Not at all!"
"That means they've been to America, and there are Black people in America too."
"I've never even crossed the border, I haven't gone anywhere."
"Really? What have you been doing these days? I haven't seen you! Don't tell me you're busy with work."
"Hehe! I've been on secondment to the Arts and Culture Department of the city TV station for the past few months to film an arts and culture promotional video and a documentary. You haven't seen me because you weren't home. I've been here many times."
"You're going to the city TV station to film an artsy movie? What will you be doing there? You're not going to be a production assistant, moving chairs and tables for people, are you?"
"Pshaw! I'm not going to do that. I have an ID card too, you know."
"Hey! You're getting cocky now, a screenwriter? Art films don't need screenwriters, do they?"
"When I'm the director, everyone on the crew has to listen to me. Aren't I awesome?"
"You've grown really impressive? I'll have to take a good look at you then."
Li Zhizhou was completely bewildered.
"I think it's quite interesting to be a director and make films. I've always been someone who likes to daydream since I was a child. Being a director allows me to incorporate these wild ideas. Unfortunately, there's too little room for imagination in documentaries and art films."
"You act like you're some big-name director. Where are your films? Let me see them."
"That's the documentary 'Lianwan Takes Off, Blue Dream' that aired last night! Didn't you watch it?"
Why would I watch documentaries when I have nothing to do?
Liang Liang shook his head.
"What a pity! You missed such a great work. But it doesn't matter. Tonight at 7:40, my large-scale art film 'Blue Charm Sings in Lianwan' will be broadcast, introducing the cultural activities in Lianwan. It will be forty minutes long."
A forty-minute art film? What did they even film?
"The only regret of this film is that it didn't capture you. Every time I came here, you were either abroad or at home, so we had to use your footage."
"Ah! How come I'm here too?"
"Isn't that obvious? This documentary is about the arts and culture of Lianwan. How could it be without you? Next, I'm planning to make a documentary about Lianwan rock and roll. It's a deal! You're not allowed to refuse my filming."
"Will you pay?"
"I have no money!"
"That's so boring."
Have you been traveling to other places lately?
Liang Liang thought for a moment and shook his head: "We probably won't be going out before December."
Aside from appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, it seems like there's really no need to go out much.
“Great! While you’re at home these days, I’ll quickly shoot some footage. I’ll go back and prepare, and I might come over to shoot in the next couple of days.”
After Li Zhizhou finished speaking, he suddenly flew away like a frightened thief.
Liang Liang was both amused and exasperated. Why did you take pictures of me if there was nothing wrong?
If CCTV were to film him, it would be quite interesting; if it were broadcast, the whole country could see him.
The films produced by a small Lianwan TV station only circulated within a few hundred miles, and did not help spread his fame much.
In the Lianwan area, his fame is no less than that of the mayor.
That evening, Liang Liang, who rarely watches TV, unusually sat down in front of the television and watched the entire documentary filmed by Li Zhizhou.
Judging from the time frame of this documentary, it can be considered a large-scale documentary, and the content of it proves this point.
This is a documentary that records all the arts and culture-related things that Lianwan people have done from the 1950s and 60s to the present.
Before the 1990s, it was only briefly mentioned, taking about ten minutes.
The rest of the time was spent talking about the scale of development of arts and culture in Lianwan in recent years.
The focus is on the strong momentum of Lianwan rock music and the industries it has spurred.
With audio-visual publishing, band development, and the guitar industry, a preliminary industrial chain has already been formed.
The film was very well made.
Li Zhizhou is quite talented.
After Li Zhizhou left, Liang Liang went to the computer room to impart knowledge.
This computer room is mainly for his employees to get acquainted with and learn about computers. He doesn't expect them to be able to do anything with computers now; just knowing how to use them is enough.
…
Han Chui probably has a deep-seated phobia of bald heads. He stayed in the capital for a week and actually managed to trick Ge You into coming here.
Ge You agreed after reading the script for "Party A, Party B".
He got annoyed by Han Chui's nagging and said he would take a look at the script and wouldn't accept the job no matter how much money he was offered if the script wasn't good.
That's just an excuse to refuse.
However, after reading the script, Ge You remained silent for a long time before finally slapping his thigh and saying: "I'll take it."
Han Chui returned with a beaming smile to report the good news.
When Liang Liang learned that this guy had actually tricked Ge You into coming, he was stunned for a long time.
"You really accepted it?"
Han Chui arrogantly slammed the contract in front of Liang Liang: "Look at it yourself!"
The contract had dozens of clauses, but Liang Liang didn't bother to read it.
Even if Ge You takes the role, Han Chui won't get away either. This movie needs a lot of shameless characters, so you'd better step up.
"So you're determined to make me a movie star!"
"You're overthinking it. Using you won't cost you any money!"
This...this is so heartbreaking.
"Find out all the shameless guys under you who are as smooth-talking as you, and make them into movies."
"Hehe! Most of my people are like that; they all go to make movies, so my agency has to shut down."
Liang Liang blinked a few times.
That's right, his firm is all about smooth talk; he can't use people who can't talk.
People who are eloquent and articulate usually have thick skin.
No problem!
Although these people haven't received any training in film and television, their thick skin alone means they won't be too bad.
All we're missing now is a comedy director.
In the 1990s, it seemed that there were really no professional comedy directors in China.
Who should we contact?
Liang Liang thought for a long time and then suddenly slapped his forehead.
Isn't there someone ready-made?
Does a documentary director no longer count as a director?
Li Zhizhou isn't saying that his documentaries stifled his imagination; I'm giving you an opportunity to see if you can unleash your talent.
If you perform well, you can make movies for me whenever you have free time.
