Chapter 488 He who knows the current affairs is a hero!
What kind of movie is "Daydreamer" in Li Youzhi's memory?
In Li Youzhi's memory, the film released in 2013 has a high score of 8.6 on the film review website.
It ranks among the top five in the category of inspirational movies and has a place in almost all high-scoring recommendation lists of inspirational movies.
Countless movie fans were moved to tears by the ending of the story, and many people were able to find insights about life and freedom in this movie.
What impressed Li Youzhi particularly deeply was the scene where the protagonist rappelled down a longboard in the second half of the movie. It was even included in Hollywood's TOP50 classic scenes in film and television!
If you can briefly summarize this movie, it is a story about a daydreaming magazine worker who embarks on a life adventure in search of a lost roll of negatives, and finally finds the true meaning of life and love - a proper story Chicken Soup for the Soul template.
But the movie that can occupy a place in Li Youzhi's memory will definitely not be a simple chicken soup.
It's like having Liu Yifei in the work clothes of an electronics factory, or Moutai in a bottle of water tower vinegar.
The special thing about this movie is that it uses the most vulgar routines and the most beautiful camera expressions to tell a wonderful story that is absurd, literary, and exciting enough to reach people's hearts!
The investment cost of this film is not large, and it is a personal work of director and starring Ben Stiller.
The shooting was not very difficult. The main difficulty lay in the framing of the second half of the film and the pursuit of the protagonist in the film. Film No. 25 included exciting and thrilling shots of helicopter diving, longboard rappelling and hiking.
But is this a problem for Li Youzhi?
Not at all!
Who is Brother Zhi?
The son of destiny descended from the rooftop, the dog-licking liberator, the workplace strategy master, the tea art king/green tea destruction expert, the sexual fantasy object of the farmer sister, and more importantly, the achievement that Brother Zhi has just achieved... The one who survived Ozaki's eight challenges Man, the new true god in the field of extreme sports!
In the business class, Li Youzhi held the phone and quickly ran through the movie in his mind, and then hung up the phone on Parhat.
Then he took out his laptop and put on the sound-isolating headphones. Ignoring the chattering of a few people behind him, he opened Word and started typing.
The story line of "Daydreamer" is very simple. From the genre perspective, it can be regarded as a road movie.
It tells the story of a magazine that is about to cease publication and switch from physical publication to online under the wave of the Internet, and a low-level social creature who loves to daydream.
His life is boring and boring, with a rigid and regular work life every day. My biggest hobby every day is daydreaming, using my mind to add some wild imagination to my life.
For example, when others say that his resume is mediocre, he will immediately imagine that the building explodes, and he transforms into Superman and saves all the residents and dogs.
For example, when faced with a scolding from his boss, he would imagine that he would respond in a humorous way, making the arrogant boss lose face in front of his colleagues.
For example, when faced with a complaint from a beautiful colleague, he would imagine himself as an explorer and capture the heart of his female colleague with thrilling and exciting adventure experiences...
But the fantasy is just a fantasy. Once the fantasy is over, he is still the monotonous, tasteless, and even somewhat incompetent social animal.
Until the company decided to put the last issue of the magazine on the cover and asked him to find the No. 25 negative that the company's best cooperative photographer sent, but disappeared for no reason.
In order to find a photographer who has no fixed address and is accustomed to not having communication equipment, She Zhu embarks on a life adventure, wading through icy lakes in winter, escaping volcanic eruptions, crossing endless roads, and climbing up to the mountains. Inhabited snow-capped mountains...
Amidst the crackling sound of Li Youzhi's keyboard, the plane left the ground smoothly.
When the Airbus 380 landed at the Capital Airport, Li Youzhi's hands finally left the keyboard.
"Hello dear passengers, the plane has landed smoothly at Beijing Capital Airport. The temperature outside the cabin is 20 degrees Celsius. Please..."
Li Youzhi stretched greatly when he heard the landing information released by the flight attendant.
Looking at the script on the computer screen, which had been revised five times and had a rough outline of the storyboards and shooting, he raised his lips.
After waving to Brother Mengzi behind him to help him get his luggage, Li Youzhi took out his phone and unlocked the airplane mode. Regardless of the darkness outside the plane window, he directly dialed Parhat's phone number.
"Hello? Who is it?"
The phone rang for a while before it was connected. Li Youzhi smiled faintly when he heard Parhati's sticky voice on the other end of the phone, which was obviously not yet completely out of his dream.
"Ha Chu, I'm really sorry. Before the plane took off, the phone was required to be turned off, and I just landed in China. Well, I've thought about what you just told me. I have now completed and collected the series of Ozaki Eight Events videos. I have already become an official, so going to Western Xinjiang to do extreme challenges again does not make much sense in terms of my career development."
On the other end of the phone, I heard that the call was from Li Youzhi. At this time, Parhati had already come out of the sweet dream that he had just finished.
Faced with Li Youzhi's rejection on the phone, Parhati sighed quietly.
"That's it..."
"Yes, but I can really feel the enthusiasm of Ha Chu. The whole way back from Venezuela, I was thinking about any opportunity to go to Xijiang and experience the beauty of Xijiang, the border of the motherland. You can also have the opportunity to meet Ha Chu about the local culture and scenery, and sit down and have a good chat.”
"Ah...then?"
"It is precisely because of this opportunity that I wrote a movie script on the way back. In the script, I specially incorporated a lot of our Western Xinjiang scenery as an important scene of the story. If there is a chance that this script can be filmed in the future , I will definitely go to Western Xinjiang, and there will be no need for help from Ha Chu."
"ah?"
Following Li Youzhi's words, Parhati on the other side of the phone was completely awake!
Now that May Day is approaching, cultural and tourism companies all over the country are starting to open up like crazy, trying to find ways to make local tourism catch up with the upcoming tourist season.
When he heard that Li Youzhi had specially written a script for Xijiang on his way back to China, Parhati's eye sockets immediately heated up, and he burst into tears and flushed the shit out of his eyes!
When I called Li Youzhi, I had the mentality of trying to make a three-pointer.
Li Youzhi hung up the phone without warning. Parhati turned around and called several other domestic celebrities. He thought that Li Youzhi's line was completely dead.
Li Youzhi made a special call back to explain why he hung up the phone just now, which already made Parhati, who had encountered celebrity walls more than a dozen times a day, feel that this top star in the country was really well-educated.
Now that I heard Li Youzhi say this, how did Parhat feel in bed?
That's equivalent to the surprise of technician No. 88 who went to the bathing town and didn't order it. The next day, he made a special call to ask himself to go shopping and have dinner and give him a free refill!
"Don't worry about it later, Teacher Xiaozhi, we have beautiful scenery in Western Xinjiang now. It's better to choose a different day. You can come over now! Don't worry, if this movie is shot here, I will personally accompany the crew to shoot. I will be responsible for coordinating any problems you encounter. I guarantee that you will feel at home and the humanistic beauty of Western Xinjiang!"
Beep!
Received amazing value from Parhati, 32 points!
Li Youzhi smiled coquettishly when he heard Parhati's excited and pleading voice on the phone, and then heard the system's amazing value entry prompt coming from his ear.
Article 72 of "Workplace Survival Code": If I can get benefits from you without paying any points, then you are a humble NPC! So never miss an opportunity to make someone feel they owe you a favor!
Article 21 of "Laws of Love" is similar: blindly giving without reservation will only turn you into a spare tire and a cash machine. When you give to your other half, you must ask for it in time!
For example, if you want to give your girlfriend a necklace, if you just hold it to her and say, "Honey, I bought you a necklace, see if you like it," then you will lose completely.
Because in this process, your girlfriend's happiness and joy are mostly due to the emotional value generated by the necklace. You will most likely only get a "thank you", and there will not be a lot of emotional feedback.
The same is true for gifting a necklace. If you say to your girlfriend, "Honey, I bought you a gift, but I want to go and XXXX with you first, and then watch you open it yourself."
In this way, there is a high probability that she will spend a wonderful night with you because of this gift, and then when she opens the necklace and sees this necklace in the future, she will think of that wonderful night.
What is the most important thing about having friends?
Just to force your own traces into every bit of his life, so that he can't help himself!
That's too far.
Hearing that Parhati on the other end of the phone had obviously stepped into his own trap, Li Youzhi thought about it for a moment and was happy;
"Ha Chu, to be honest, I have been abroad for more than a month recently, and there are many things that need to be dealt with in the company. But you have already mentioned this, so let's just... I'll arrange the time, and we'll start right away. Try to complete the shooting in the shortest possible time. I will go back to Rongdian right away to work on the crew. When I finish here, I will go directly to Xijiang. Then I will have to trouble you for the filming and framing."
Urumqi, late at night.
Sitting on the dark bed, listening to the reply from Li Youzhi on the other end of the phone, Parhat took a deep breath.
(﹏)σ is love, the feeling of love!
At this moment, a feeling of happiness arose in my heart, as if I had gotten the phone number of a goddess I had admired for a long time during my college days!
Beep!
Received the additional [Admiration] stunning value from Harpati, 37 points!
Capital Airport Terminal.
Hearing another reminder of the system's amazing value being credited to his ears, Li Youzhi smiled slightly and boarded the plane to Chengdu.
…
He had been working too hard some time ago, and this time when he returned to China, Li Youzhi received many invitations, including Liu Xiuyi from China Film and Television Channel Production Center Wang Xiwen, who all called to invite him to dinner.
Li Youzhi turned down all these invitations without exception.
After spending more than a month abroad, Li Youzhi really felt a little homesick.
After being stranded in the capital for more than two hours, Li Youzhi and Liu Meng's treacherous sons transferred back to Chengdu.
When we left Rongcheng, the weather was still a bit cold, but more than a month later, the green belts on both sides of the streets in Rongcheng were already in full bloom.
After returning to the dormitory, which was only about fifty square meters but extremely warm, he took a nice hot bath and got some sleep. Li Youzhi started walking around with the souvenirs he bought on his return trip.
Using some small items such as woolen blankets, copper kettles with ethnic colors, and teacups, the wives of the school leaders and teachers were coaxed to smiles. Li Youzhi, who was feeling at home with ease, came upstairs to the 21day fitness center.
On the third floor of the fitness center, the original offices of the Wako Cultural Services Group have now been assigned to the Wako Audiovisual Operations Department.
"Brother!"
"President!"
As soon as Li Youzhi walked in, a group of juniors and sisters from the company immediately greeted him.
Smiling and waving to everyone, Li Youzhi looked at Tu Susu in the corner of the office with his peripheral vision.
After not seeing each other for a month, Tu Susu had lost a lot of weight. Feeling Assistant Tu's stern eyes, Li Youzhi smiled.
"Hey, Su Su. You've been working hard this month! Are you busy?"
Facing Li Youzhi's completely useless politeness, Tu Susu wrinkled his nose.
╭(╯^╰)╮
Is that hard work? Is that called busy?
During this time, the Heguang Foundation, the overseas operation and maintenance of the platform, and the approval of these short dramas that are currently being filmed...a mountain-like workload, all weighing on the full and tender shoulders.
I'm still worried about you, a man seeking death, every day, always thinking about whether the largest shareholder and boss of Heguang Culture will ascend to heaven... You know how exciting this is, you bastard!
"You still have the nerve to ask? In the past month, you have clearly used my aunt as the strongest donkey in the production team! Just now, the Ministry of Culture called me and asked me to attend the event next week. The Internet Video Industry Exchange Promotion Conference held in Beijing, now that you are back, I won’t care about these things, let me have a good feel of what kind of life I have been living during this time!"
"..."
Li Youzhi grinned as he watched Tu Susu transform into an angry puppy and complain.
"Ahem, I'm going to have to go out for a few days. When I came back, netizens suggested that I make a movie. I've finalized the script, and I'm going to visit Western Xinjiang in a few days..."
()
Tu Susu froze when he heard that Li Youzhi was going out again just after he came back.
A thousand cuts...
You want to carry out the job of the boss to the end, and you want to exhaust your aunt to death!
Beep!
Received Tu Susu’s additional [Killing Heart] stunning value, 42 points... 42 points... 42 points...
Li Youzhi trembled when he heard a shocking sound in his ear and looked at Tu Susu's little white teeth that gradually narrowed and made a squeaking sound.
Article 91 of the "Workplace Survival Code": Don't mess with anyone who has been exploited to the extreme, because you never know that the workers will stab you dozens of times!
Adhering to this principle, Li Youzhi turned around and ran away without saying a word.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero, slip away!
