Gu Yan was stunned: "What did you say?"
"I would like to invite you to direct my movie." The boy repeated patiently.
Gu Yan opened her eyes slightly, the severe pain in her wrist and the feeling of blood losing became more and more obvious.
Perhaps out of unwillingness to live her life to its fullest, Gu Yan's vitality was rekindled by this sentence.
She grabbed her injured wrist with her hand, desperate to survive, and said earnestly: "Okay... I'll talk to you in detail when I get out of the hospital..."
After saying that, he hung up the phone. With an overwhelming desire to survive, he dialed the emergency number. While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, Gu Yan called back without stopping.
"I'm sorry, I hung up on you because I was asking for help. The ambulance is on the way now, we can continue chatting..." She spoke earnestly, her tone gradually becoming weaker, with a hint of pain in it.
Chu Qi on the other side: "......"
She choked and her voice lowered: "What happened to you? Do you need my help?"
"Well... maybe I really need your help." Gu Yan smiled weakly, embarrassed: "I may not have enough money to pay for the medical expenses."
Chu Qi: “…”
"Which hospital are you in? I'll come to you directly." As long as it's not too exaggerated, Chu Qi doesn't mind helping to pay.
But even if she has money, she can't be taken advantage of. She has to find out what Gu Yan's situation is.
Only then can we be sure whether we can cooperate.
What if Gu Yan turns into a fraudster?
So be careful.
Gu Yan reported the name of the hospital and fell silent. Her breathing became shallow and the rise and fall of her chest became weaker and weaker.
I squeezed the phone with my finger bones, but I had no strength left and the phone fell down.

When Chu Qi rushed to the hospital, Gu Yan had just been released from the emergency room.
After seeing Chu Qi and confirming her identity, Gu Yan shamelessly handed her the payment bill.
His pretty face was slightly pale. "Thank you for your help. I'll pay you back when the movie makes money."
The cost is not expensive, just over 10,000 yuan.
Chu Qi paid without blinking an eye. Apart from anything else, the money spent on investing in a movie was just a drop in the bucket.
Since we have decided to cooperate, there is nothing wrong in sending a welfare red envelope in advance.
Chu Qi was so straightforward that Gu Yan felt even more embarrassed.
Lying on the white hospital bed, her wrists were wrapped in layers of gauze and she was receiving an IV drip.
The woman's pale face was filled with undisguised inquiry: "Why did you suddenly ask me to cooperate with you?"
Judging from the clothing of the man in front of her, although it was a wild dark punk style, the texture of the clothing was definitely from a big brand. And Chu Qi's behavior of being taken advantage of without blinking an eye, Gu Yan guessed that this man came from an extraordinary background.
Why did they choose her, a notorious young director who had been "dead" for two years?
Chu Qi said seriously: "I have seen your works, they are excellent. You are indeed a talented director." After praising them for a while, she continued:
"I think your style fits the style of my new film. I think it's the most appropriate to ask you to shoot it."
Gu Yan's eyes lit up slightly when her directing ability was recognized:
"Thank you. If you don't mind my bad reputation, I'd be happy to work with you."
"I have checked your case, and I believe it was not your fault." Chu Qi held the script in her hand, knowing the whole truth of the matter, and said calmly.
Gu Yan became emotional and grabbed Chu Qi's hand, "Do you believe me? I really didn't plagiarize..."
Her voice choked and her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Of course." Chu Qi smiled and nodded.
***
After the drip, Chu Qi directly invited Gu Yan to her home.
She only had the story framework of the movie in her mind, but had no idea about the specific script, so it was most appropriate for her to ask for help from the experienced Gu Yan.
In this small world derived from the novel, the heroine is dark and indifferent, and most of the men around her who are bootlickers have dirty hands.
The people who are suppressed by the heroine all have good character, so Chu Qi is not afraid of being cheated.
As I said, if you lose money, the worst that can happen is that you continue to rely on your parents.
As long as you are not deceived into doing anything illegal, everything can be salvaged.
After Chu Qi gave Gu Yan the framework of the story, Gu Yan was confused: "Horror movie?"
All the movies she shoots are youth urban romance movies.
Qi Shao (yes, Gu Yan is also called Qi Shao now) said that her style is very similar to Qi Shao’s movies…
Are you really not kidding?
However, Chu Qi was not joking.
Director Gu Yan’s works are very impressive, but in Chu Qi’s opinion, the love stories in them, and the deep affection stories of being heartbroken and never getting married if they can’t get the love, aren’t they horror films?
To round it off, that's a style.
Well, since the sponsor said it was a good style, Gu Yan had no objection and tried her best to polish the script with Chu Qi.
Five days later, a low-budget horror movie script with a budget of three million was successfully polished.
Then it’s time to audition and find actors.
Because of the previous precedent of people standing up, not many people were willing to audition for Chu Qi's promotion this time.
However, Zhou Ya came here immediately after hearing the news.
Last time, she had a falling out with her agent, and the agent didn’t get the answer she wanted, so he just left Zhou Ya alone.
Now Zhou Ya is in a completely wild state. Even if the company thinks that Zhou Ya has the potential to become popular, it is just a "feeling" and they don't actually have much expectation on her.
In Yingtian Entertainment, there are many unlucky artists who were cheated into signing contracts, and Zhou Ya is no exception. In addition to not letting her go, the company doesn't care about Zhou Ya's life or death.
Of course, if Zhou Ya earns money through her own efforts, Sakurada Entertainment will take seven-tenths of it.
Of the remaining, the agent took another 10%, leaving Zhou Ya with only 20%.
This is also the reason why Zhou Ya wants to take on the role of the female lead so much.
Because the female lead gets paid more.
She can keep more money.
When I heard that the audition requirement was to play a pure female college student, I knew Zhou Ya was good at this.
Just when she was happy, she heard Chu Qi continue to talk, and she had to act like she was very scared of the "ghost" classmates around her. Zhou Ya was dumbfounded.
She didn't know what the tone of the drama was. When she heard about the innocent female college student, she thought it was a youth movie. What was going on with the "ghost" classmate?
Gu Yan smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you, this drama is a horror movie."
Zhou Ya: “…” Forgot…
In order to get the role, Zhou Ya had no choice but to continue acting.
However, this was also Zhou Ya's first time acting in a horror film, and she did not create any miracles. Her acting was mediocre and had no highlights.
The reactions of Chu Qi and the female director also made Zhou Ya realize that she must have acted terribly.
Just when Zhou Ya was about to leave dejectedly.
Chu Qi suddenly walked over and said, "Let me teach you how to act."
