Chapter 18 Chapter 18 "Really, making a movie?"...
Wen Yu stood in front of Ying Tianrui and met his unfocused gaze, not caring that he looked a little funny.
"Really, making a movie?"
His face showed the same excitement as Ying Tianrui.
Hearing the sound, Ying Tianrui finally focused... probably.
He determined the location of the sound and nodded like a happy puppy. "Really, really, really, do you remember the UP host called Senior Horror Movie Watcher? He knows an investor and a director there, and we just happened to talk about it. Then the other party watched the video we shot and was very interested, so he contacted us and planned to meet to discuss it in detail."
Wen Yu was also happy: "Okay, okay, let's set a time and go together... Uh, you two go in the open, and I'll follow and observe in secret!"
Ying Tianrui continued to nod: "Then I will reply to the other party now and arrange a time to meet. Daxian, you take a rest, I'm leaving."
The two were so excited that they didn't notice the not-too-heavy footsteps coming up the stairs.
After Ying Tianrui finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
The footsteps just happened to come behind him, and he was suddenly face to face.
“…”
“…”
Ying Tianrui silently took a step back, pretending nothing had happened, and reached out to close the door.
Wen Yu was only half a second later than Ying Tianrui and also saw Sun Xifei.
He thought that the people were still sleeping, but unexpectedly they were all at his doorstep.
"Brother Fei, you are here, come in and sit down."
Wen Yu reached out and held Ying Tianrui's hand, then took the initiative to speak.
Ying Tianrui: “…”
Friend of the great immortal?
Also a great immortal?
This looks very much like a human, so what is its true identity?
Fox? Weasel? Rabbit? Judging from the body, wild boar?
Sun Xifei took a look at Ying Tianrui and probably guessed his identity.
He had heard Wen Yu talk about making short video ghost films and still remembered it.
But why did this person look at him in such a strange way?
Wait until Sun Xifei and Wen Yu came in together.
Ying Tianrui was facing the security door, still guessing.
Li Chaoyan from room 403 next door heard the noise and pushed the door open to take a look.
"What are you doing?"
Ying Tianrui pointed to room 402, winked, and said with his mouth: "Someone has gone in. It's Daxian's friend."
Li Chaoyan raised one eyebrow and asked him with expression: So what?
Ying Tianrui walked over with light steps.
"What do you think the Immortal's friend could be? A tall guy who weighs over 200 kilograms... Could he be a wild boar? Or a hippopotamus?"
Li Zhaoyan: “…”
She said, "Why don't you wait until the others leave and ask the immortal?"
Ying Tianrui thought about it and wanted to ask, but he didn’t dare... Forget it, he decided to go back to work.
Li Chaoyan watched his expression change back and forth, and finally become depressed. He was so naive that it made people worry that one day he would be cheated out of all his belongings.
But maybe fools have good luck?
She didn't care anymore, and she couldn't do anything about it. She shook her head and went back to the room to continue exercising. As a female star, she must be self-disciplined.
In room 402.
Wen Yu asked Sun Xifei to sit wherever he wanted.
"Brother Fei, why did you come to see me so early in the morning?"
Sun Xifei didn't know where to look, so he looked over there roughly based on the sound.
"Last night, the old pervert's incident became a big deal. Today, the crew will be on hold for a day. I have nothing to do, so I came to talk to you."
What we saw last night was more frightening than anything else. There were some things I didn’t even have time to say.
Wen Yu knew that Sun Xifei was extremely busy and exhausted every day, and he must have been sleeping soundly when he had a rare rest. He didn't expect that he would come to see him so early in the morning.
Maybe it was out of genuine curiosity and excitement.
Wen Yu said: "I just wanted to embarrass him, but I didn't expect it to become a hot topic... The crew is about to finish filming, but they stopped working. Are they going to replace him?"
This guy's incident became such a big deal on the hot searches, and so many people came out to criticize him, the image of the old artist was completely ruined.
It is inevitable that artists will have their reputations ruined and their roles replaced.
Otherwise, not to mention that it may not pass the review in the later stage, even if it passes the review, it will affect the ratings and reputation.
Not to mention that the crew hasn't officially finished filming yet, even if it has, there will be people replacing each other and reshooting.
The crew's approach is not surprising.
But Wen Yu never expected that his act of pulling someone's pants just to embarrass him or vent his anger would lead to such a series of chain reactions.
Sun Xifei gave him a definite answer: "An emergency meeting, probably to change people and reshoot. Anyway, it's a mess now, Ling Fei may have also contributed to the situation. Now the director and producer are unhappy. Anyway, I heard a lot of gossip, and now they haven't decided on a set of rules."
Wen Yu only played a minor supporting role with few lines. Later, he was unable to shoot three scenes and no one came to find him. It can be seen that the big things in the crew have nothing to do with an actor of his level.
After the two talked about the crew for a few words, they didn't talk about this topic anymore.
Obviously, Sun Xifei is also curious about Wen Yu's condition.
It is really hard to accept that a healthy and living person suddenly becomes blind.
"Have you figured out what's going on with you now? Can you change back?"
He bravely reached out to touch Wen Yu. His arms, shoulders, face... were all still there, no different from touching an ordinary person.
If he closed his eyes, he would feel like he was holding a normal person when he grabbed Wen Yu.
Wen Yu didn't know if he could change back. In response to his question, he could only say, "I don't know. Anyway, it seems that I have no problem now. I'll just live like this for now. Besides, because of my current state, I even played the leading actor, although it's only the male lead in a short video. But I just got the news that someone wants to find us to make a movie. Maybe this is an opportunity."
Sun Xifei both envied and admired Wen Yu's optimistic attitude.
If it were him, he felt that he might be frightened to death on the spot, let alone continue to work hard and strive for a career despite being so "disabled".
Stand in awe.
Sun Xifei thought about it and said, "No, I'll go ask around to see if there's any great master who can help you with your situation. It's not a good idea to keep doing this. And about your filming, tell me the details. I'm not a great person in the industry, but after all, I've been around for so many years and I have some experience. I can't help with anything else, but I can just check it out."
Wen Yu thought about it and felt that what Sun Xifei said made sense. He, Ying Tianrui, and Li Chaoyan were all newbies. They might get cheated without knowing it.
So, Wen Yu gave Sun Xifei Ying Tianrui's contact information, and prepared to take people to the 401 next door to introduce the two to each other directly.
"Oh, by the way, they both think I'm a great immortal. What kind of spirit am I? Don't expose me."
Before Wen Yu opened the door and went out, he gave Sun Xifei some advice.
Sun Xifei: “???”
It's like this, you're still playing, right? This heartless and silly kid, he really doesn't worry or fear at all!
Sun Xifei had always known that Wen Yu had a big heart, but it still surprised him that he could be so big-hearted.
But he changed his mind and thought, even if he was regarded as a great immortal, Wen Yu’s current situation was difficult to explain. The more people knew about it, it might not be a good thing for him.
On the contrary, the identity of a great immortal is a kind of protection for him.
Sun Xifei was dragged by Wen Yu to meet Ying Tianrui and Li Chaoyan.
Ying Tianrui has been secretly observing Sun Xifei, trying to guess his "true form".
Sun Xifei read the information of "experienced horror movie watcher" twice.
"Strictly speaking, this guy is not an insider, and I am not familiar with him. As for the investment he mentioned, I am not sure whether it is true or not. Let's follow your original method. I will go with you openly, and Wenyu will observe secretly."
With the help of Sun Xifei, an experienced senior, Ying Tianrui felt as if he suddenly had a backbone.
Otherwise, if a big pie falls on his head, he will feel half ecstatic and half weak.
The meeting went smoothly. I could feel that the other party was very serious about cooperating with Wenyu and his team, and was afraid that someone else would get there first.
As soon as Ying Tianrui called, the other party immediately asked him to have dinner with him in the evening.
Sun Xifei was free today, so he simply didn't pick a day and just set a time and place.
night.
Wenyu and three other people took a taxi to keep the appointment.
The "veteran horror movie watcher" is a young man with ordinary looks, and he looks like a homebody. He is less than 30 years old, and does not look young, with a bit of uncle-like feeling.
He was the first to arrive in the entire box. When he saw Ying Tianrui and the other two, he immediately stood up and introduced himself: "I'm Sun Xiaoyi, Senior Horror Movie Watcher is my account. I've been following you for a while. This is the first time we meet offline. Hello."
Ying Tianrui and the other two also took turns introducing themselves.
None of them are veterans in the workplace. After the basic pleasantries, they get straight to the point.
Sun Xiaoyi said, "Today's bureau is my team. I have watched all the videos you made. This technology is absolutely leading. If it can be used in the post-production of horror movies, the effect should be very good. The investors and directors who asked me for help should also be interested in this. I have mentioned some of the details when I contacted them before. After they come, you two can discuss it. If you feel there is something inappropriate, you can also raise it. I don't know much about these things. I have only met with them a few times at work, so I am not that familiar with them. I can't guarantee you anything. It depends on you whether we can cooperate."
Sun Xiaoyi made it clear that he was just a middleman and his words had no final say on either end.
As a horror movie fan, he was willing to be the contact person who would not gain any benefit, just because of his love for this kind of movies.
That's quite true.
But it’s better this way. Making things clear shows your sincerity.
The atmosphere at the beginning was good.
The meeting time arranged by Sun Xiaoyi was a little later than the previous one. He also wanted to meet Ying Tianrui and the others first. What he said just now was not suitable to be said in front of the investors.
As a contact person, his heart still leans towards Ying Tianrui.
After all, he can be considered a fan.
The investor and the director came together, a male director and a female investor.
We made an appointment to have dinner, and after everyone arrived, we started ordering food and drinks. The female investor ordered corn juice, which showed that this was not a drinking party.
The atmosphere became more relaxed.
Before the food and drinks were served, people had already started to recognize each other.
The male director introduced himself first: "My last name is Ding, Ding Rong, I'm an unknown director with no works. I guess you may not be able to find my information on the Internet. I have made a few films, all of which are pretty bad, but fortunately I didn't lose much money, so there are still jobs looking for me."
This man is not tall, is fat, wears black-framed glasses, and is very funny when he speaks.
After listening to the introduction, several people laughed. As the middleman, Sun Xiaoyi made a few jokes to liven up the atmosphere.
Ding Rong pointed at the female investor sitting next to him and said, "This is Sister Ning, our investor. Sister Ning is incredible, a strong woman with a very good eye. She liked your video at first sight."
Sister Ning and Li Chaoyan sat next to each other. Li Chaoyan was a bright and beautiful lady, but she couldn't overpower anyone with her looks.
She is not actually very pretty, with regular features, but she has a good temperament and a calmness that comes from being confident in what she has done.
Hearing Ding Rong bragging to her, she waved her hand and said with a smile: "Ding Rong, please stop. If this cooperation is successful, we will have more opportunities to meet in the future. Sooner or later, the bullshit you boasted to me today will be exposed. How embarrassing it will be for me then."
Ding Rong seemed to be really familiar with the investor Ning Weili, and said, "Then I will tell you my true colors directly. Wouldn't you be unhappy? My sister Ning is pure money. She just got divorced and has nothing to do. She wants to find something to do to change her mood..."
Sure enough, Ning Weili glared at him.
"You just have that broken mouth, you keep saying everything..." She turned to look at Li Chaoyan and the others, "But Ding Rong is right about one thing. I am indeed an amateur, but I know myself. I only invest money and will not interfere with other matters related to filming and actors. I only have one requirement, to make good films and make money."
The chat that day was very down-to-earth and I could see the other party's sincerity.
Sun Xifei and Ying Tianrui exchanged glances. During the meal, Sun Xifei had already asked someone on his phone to help him find out about Ding Rong and Ning Weili. He knew a lot of people on his side, and soon someone replied to him, saying that there was no problem with these two people.
Ding Rong is just a not-so-famous director. He doesn't do drugs or prostitutes and is a decent person. As for Ning Weili, she does have some status. She is a rich lady whose family is in the jewelry business. She is not top-tier, but she is worth hundreds of millions. Among ordinary people, she is definitely a rich woman.
As for her ex-husband, everyone knows him. He is an art film director and has won awards. He is just very sullen and not very popular. However, people outside describe him as having "personality".
The two had been married for five years and had no children. They recently divorced for unknown reasons.
Ying Tianrui still believed in Sun Xifei, so the following conversation was more reassuring and more in-depth.
The most important thing for them is not to expose the existence of the "great immortal".
He gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Ning, Director Ding, we are very interested in working together, but there is one thing we must say up front. The male lead who plays the ghost in our video is a little special. He cannot meet people. We must keep his filming confidential, including from you two."
Ning Weili and Ding Rong looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Both of them recalled that in the video they watched, the "ghost" never showed its face from beginning to end. Could it be that it was ugly?
