When remembering the death of Michael Jackson on his scarf, Shao Shuaijun felt that his mood had become lower as MJ passed away. As a young man, Shao Shuaijun was also in MJ's singing and charming moonwalk.
, gradually grew up.
When Shao Shuaijun was young, it was the most glorious era of MJ. When Shao Shuaijun grew up, the mythical worship of MJ began to rise in China. The moonwalk became popular among many young people, and influenced many people to grind the soles of their shoes day and night.
To act cool in front of girls.
There is also the crotch-grabbing action that many girls call "obscene". It makes me so proud to see girls squirming and wanting to see it but not daring to look at it.
For Shao Shuaijun, and for many people who are now growing up, MJ is equated with the era of youth.
Now, the memory of an era has fallen.
Although he was not a fan of MJ and had known about MJ's death for a long time in his previous life, he still felt heavy in his heart.
At night, Shao Shuaijun read and re-read the script for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" in his study. This is the movie he plans to direct after "Heartbeat" ends. "Teddy Bear" and "The Hunger Games" have already been written by him
He was at the back. However, now Shao Shuaijun suddenly lost his passion.
After a long time, Shao Shuaijun closed the script and dialed Louis Leinard's phone number. As Mitchell Bruce became more and more involved in the company's management, Louis Leinard replaced him as producer, and it was confirmed that
Casting director for "War for the Planet of the Apes".
"Hey, Louis, this is Shao Shuaijun. Has your actor invitation plan been submitted to the Screen Actors Guild?"
"Not yet, what's wrong, Shao?"
"In this case, don't hand over the plan for the time being. I have decided to postpone the filming of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". I may have other plans now."
"Are we going to change the script for filming?"
"Yeah, but maybe I won't be shooting movies in Hollywood anymore. If nothing else happens, I will go back to China to shoot movies."
"Go back to China? Shao, why don't you shoot in Hollywood? This is the global film center. You should shoot movies here." Louis asked puzzledly.
"Haha, suddenly I'm not in the mood and want to go back. Louis, it's getting late, let's put it this way. You make preparations first, and I may come back to film "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" in a few months."
After hanging up the phone, Shao Shuaijun rubbed his forehead.
After MJ passed away, it was time to shoot the movie "Oldboy" that he had determined for a long time. This movie was something Shao Shuaijun wanted to shoot very early on to commemorate his lost youth. It was only delayed due to some concerns.
So far. Now that MJ has left, Shao Shuaijun finally decided to complete this memorial to his dream.
Now that he had decided, Shao Shuaijun no longer hesitated.
The next day, I rushed back to China with Li Xiuxiu. After returning to the Dream Chasing Apartment, I immediately dug out the script outline of "Oldboy" that had been sealed for more than a year.
"Husband, is this "Oldboy" the story related to the song you wrote when you participated in "The Voice of China"?" Li Xiuxiu asked, flipping through the outline of the script.
Shao Shuaijun nodded: "Yes, there are some stories that have been buried in my heart for a long time and I want to tell them."
"Oldboy" is a micro-movie inspired by the song of the same name by the Chopstick Brothers. It is called "Oldboy" of Eleventh Degree of Youth. It is an eleven-part film about the struggle of youth created by China Film Group and Youpants.com, bringing together eleven cutting-edge directors.
micro-movies. The most popular one is "Oldboy".
The movie tells the story of two ordinary young people who participated in a talent show and regained their youthful past. One of the male protagonists, Xiao Dabao, was a gangster leader in middle school. He once bullied one of the male protagonists, Wang Xiaoshuai and the future big brother.
*OSS Many classmates including Bao Xiaobai.
During a fight against out-of-school gangsters, Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai became good friends because of their love for Michael Jackson. They practiced singing and dancing together. Many years later, the two people, who had not yet succeeded in their careers, became a wedding couple.
The host, one became a barber.
Life was unsatisfactory, but in order to regain their dreams for a bonus, the two participated in Bao Xiaobai's program "Happy Boys", which had become a producer, in an attempt to regain their youth.
Because it is a micro-movie, it only lasts 42 minutes, and the content is not explained much, but the song at the end, coupled with the expressions of countless people who are unhappy in life watching the show, still affects countless people. Only on the official website of Youpants.com
The number of on-demand videos reached 88.98 million.
The movie uses a unique black humor to mock and remember the lost youth, which goes straight into people's hearts.
The only shortcoming is that due to the cost and length constraints of micro-film production, the scenes are simple, the makeup is not good, the actors' acting skills are a bit exaggerated, and many plots end in a hurry without unfolding. I have to say that this is a pity. Shao Shuaijun wants to shoot it
To make it into a movie, the story needs to be repackaged and packaged into a real movie.
Since returning home, Shao Shuaijun couldn't wait to devote himself to the transformation of the movie, burning the midnight oil and working on it.
Li Xiuxiu came to urge Shao Shuaijun to rest several times, but Shao Shuaijun said it was good, but did not take any action. Stories about youth surged at this moment, and he eagerly wanted to seize these inspirations and create a youth movie that can touch the soul.
Movie.
Finally, after a week of hard work, the script for "Oldboy" was completed.
The story takes place in this era. On the talent show stage, wedding host Xiao Dabao and barber Wang Xiaoshuai stood on the stage together, preparing to perform. When the judges asked mercilessly, "What do you do?"
"How old are you?", "Do you know you look very old?", "Do you think you will be popular?" and other embarrassing questions, the two recalled the past.
In middle school, Xiao Dabao was the gangster leader in the school, and Wang Xiaoshuai was an admirer of Michael Jackson. Both of them liked the school beauty. Xiao Dabao often enjoyed bullying other classmates, and at the same time, he often brought a group of bad friends with him.
, for example, Bao Xiaobai would stop on the road where the school beauties were passing by, play the guitar and sing, hoping to attract the attention of the school beauties, but Luohua would often be merciless.
One time, Wang Xiaoshuai was learning how to dance with MJ in the playground. The girls all clapped around Wang Xiaoshuai. Xiao Dabao asked Bao Xiaobai to push the garbage truck and passed by quietly. Then he saw the school belle talking and laughing with Wang Xiaoshuai. Xiao Dabao was very angry.
In fact, the school beauty just gave a tape of MJ to her crush Wang Xiaoshuai on behalf of her fat classmate.
The next day, Xiao Dabao and others caught Wang Xiaoshuai and took off his pants in front of the girls, especially the school belle. The humiliated Wang Xiaoshuai was in pain and could only continue to imitate MJ to relieve his depression. Xiao Dabao continued to bully his classmates and continued to harass his classmates.
The school beauty expressed her love and showed her heroism by bullying Bao Xiaobai and others, but they all ended in failure.
Knowing that the school belle didn't like him, Xiao Dabao threw away his guitar.
Later, a gangster outside the school heard that Xiao Dabao was very good, so he led people to beat up Xiao Dabao and Xiao Dabao's friends. Wang Xiaoshuai, who saw injustice on the road, did not care about the past grudges, and teamed up with his classmates to drive away the gangster outside the school. From then on, Wang Xiaoshuai
Became good friends with Xiao Dabao.
The two often played together, singing MJ's songs and dancing MJ's dances together, which gradually attracted the attention of girls, and the school beauties also favored the two. Later, the two decided to perform MJ's songs together at the school's New Year's Day party.
It's a classic. The two of them were greatly welcomed by the girls as soon as they appeared on the stage. The school belles cheered especially enthusiastically.
Unexpectedly, Bao Xiaobai, who was holding a grudge, also had a crush on the school beauty. When he saw the school beauty cheering for the two, he became jealous and cut off the school's electricity. His only chance to shine was gone.
Many years later, Xiao Dabao became a wedding host. He often failed to receive events because of his poor hosting, and lived in poverty. Wang Xiaoshuai married a fat girl who had a crush on him and ran a small barber shop. Life was equally difficult.
.
On the way home from get off work, Xiao Dabao got distracted when he heard the news about MJ's death and crashed a Mercedes-Benz. It turned out that the owner of the car was Bao Xiaobai, who was often bullied by him back then and became a star of the popular talent show "Good Boy of China" Producers and judges. What’s even more amazing is that the school beauty married Bao Xiaobai.
Life with Bao Xiaobai was not satisfactory. The school beauty felt that she was the canary in the cage, and Bao Xiaobai often went out to socialize. Therefore, when meeting old classmates, the school beauty was very enthusiastic. When she learned about the life of Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai
Neither was satisfactory. After returning home, the school beauty asked Bao Xiaobai to let the two of them participate in the draft.
And asked Bao Xiaobai to guarantee that they would enter the top ten and receive a bonus of 50,000 yuan.
"Chinese Good Boy" is a talent show, which is divided into auditions and semi-finals. There are no spectators in the auditions, and the semi-finals are broadcast live on TV. If you enter the top ten in the competition area, you can get a bonus of 50,000 yuan.
Bao Xiaobai still vividly remembered the past more than ten years ago, and he didn't like the school beauties being so enthusiastic towards them, so he agreed on the surface, but secretly decided to let the judges pass the audition, and then embarrass them after they appeared on TV.
, and were eventually eliminated. At the same time, they were told that as long as original songs were used in the semi-finals, there was a high possibility of impressing the judges and successfully advancing.
Xiao Dabao, who didn't know anything about it, actively encouraged Wang Xiaoshuai to form a team to participate. However, the fat girl did not agree. She felt that the level of the two was not enough and it would be embarrassing to go up. Therefore, Wang Xiaoshuai did not agree, and Xiao Dabao left disappointed. But in the evening, Wang Xiaoshuai
I had something on my mind and couldn't sleep, so I quietly got up and practiced dancing.
After the fat girl got up at night, she discovered that her husband was so eager to perform. She relented and agreed to team up with Wang Xiaoshuai and Xiao Dabao to participate in the talent show. The two left their work behind, concentrated on practicing dancing and singing, and wrote a song
An original song, hoping to be included in the top ten in the region.
I passed the audition smoothly.
It was finally going to be broadcast live on TV. The audience was all here to see the contestants born in the 1990s. No one welcomed the two old boys. Only the fat girl cheered for the two in the audience and kept calling her old classmates.
Watch TV.
Then, back to the competition scene, the judges followed Bao Xiaobai's instructions and humiliated the two of them.
The humiliated two people, with their last dream in mind, sang the original song "Old Boy" with strength... (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
