Chapter 11 Lu Yang (Please collect)
After a basketball game, Gu Wei went to the sidelines to rest. He took the water handed to him by Yang Zi and said "thank you".
"Hey, Xiao Guzi, I heard that you broke up." Yang Zi looked gossipy.
"Yeah, the news spread so quickly. You're not even in our grade."
"What's the big deal? Look at who I am. No gossip can escape my ears." Yang Zi looked very cool.
"Why, are you asking me this because you have a beautiful woman to introduce to me?" Gu Weidao
"You just broke up a few days ago, and you're already thinking about beautiful women, scumbag!" Yang Zi said disdainfully
"Besides, am I not a beautiful woman?"
Zhang Yishan on the side also said
"Yes, our Yang Zi is also a serious beauty."
Gu Wei deliberately made a disgusted expression and said, "Is there any indecent beauty out there who can give me one?"
"You're looking for a fight!" Yang Zi shouted, and then chased Gu Wei to play with him.
In addition to normal classes every day, Gu Wei occasionally attends some open classes on screenwriting and directing.
You don't need to be too specialized, just know some basic aspects of directing and screenwriting, and then get to know some connections. Although these are all unknown college students now, in Gu Wei's eyes, they will all be his high-quality tools in the future.
"Teacher Xu, I want to ask you about someone."
As soon as the get out of class was over, Gu Wei went up to the teacher.
Teacher Xu Minhua, an old teacher of the directing department of the college, graduated in 1999 and stayed on campus, and has been working as a teacher in the directing department ever since.
Recently this year, he also served as the deputy director of the Directing Department.
After more than ten years of teaching, he has many students all over the world.
Gu Wei has been attending Teacher Xu's lectures recently.
After class, he chatted with Teacher Xu again to get closer to him. After a while, Teacher Xu got to know that he was a student from the acting department who fell in love with the directing class.
"Tell me, who is it?" Teacher Xu replied without raising his head while sorting out the teaching materials he had just used in class.
"Do you know Director Lu Yang?"
"Lu Yang? Are you talking about the Lu Yang who graduated from our college?" Teacher Xu looked up at Gu Wei.
Gu Wei said with a smile
"Yes, it's Senior Brother Lu Yang who graduated from our school a few years ago."
"Yes, I know him. What do you want from him?"
Teacher Xu said with a puzzled look, as if he understood something.
"You want to be in his play? I haven't heard that Lu Yang has any new play now."
"No, Mr. Xu, I have seen Brother Lu's film "The Blind Cinema" before. I think it is very good and I admire him very much.
A while ago, I heard that Senior Brother Lu was planning to shoot a new movie, but he was having some financial difficulties. It just so happened that my family had some money, so I wanted to see if I could help Senior Brother Lu."
Gu Wei said
After hearing this, Teacher Xu Minhua looked at Gu Wei again, as if he had gotten to know him all over again.
"I didn't realize it, Gu Wei. You're still a well-hidden rich second generation."
Gu Wei waved his hand after hearing this
"Teacher, please don't tease me. This is all for art."
"Think carefully, investing in a movie is not a small amount of money. Will your family agree?
Since you're studying this, you should know that not many domestically produced films can recoup their investment. Have you considered the risks involved?"
"Don't worry, teacher. I have already communicated with my family. I can decide on the money for the filming myself."
Gu Wei replied
Teacher Xu advised again
“You are my student, and Lu Yang is also my student. To put it bluntly, we are all family.
We're all family, so we shouldn't talk behind each other's backs. Filming is too risky, so you have to be prepared for a lot of losses. "Of course, the teacher wants to help you, Senior Brother Lu, but he can't let you down."
"Teacher, don't worry. I've thought it through."
Gu Wei comforted
"Okay, I'll tell Lu Yang and I'll set up a time to introduce you two. We can discuss the details later."
"Thank you, Teacher Xu. I'll wait for your news."
Teacher Xu finished speaking and walked out of the classroom with the textbook.
Gu Wei originally had 24 million in his hands. After deducting 2 million for buying Bitcoin and 2 million for lending to Nazha, he now has about 20 million available.
There is no good place to invest this money in the short term. After all, he was just a social animal in his previous life. Apart from the information about Bitcoin that has been talked about a lot, there is only the stock market trend from 2014 to 2015.
Gu Wei has a deep impression of this market trend. After all, it bankrupted his family and turned him from a rich second-generation with a comfortable life into a wage earner who has to pay off his debts after graduation.
After work, Gu Wei listened to his father reviewing the stock market situation at home countless times, saying what would have been great if this or that had happened, if he hadn't allocated funds or leveraged, if he hadn't taken out a loan later on. However, there are no ifs in life.
The next morning, Gu Wei received a call from Teacher Xu
"Gu Wei, come to my office."
When I arrived at Teacher Xu's office, I saw a thin, fair-skinned young man sitting next to him.
"Let me introduce you to Lu Yang, an outstanding graduate of our academy and a famous director."
"Gu Wei, a student majoring in acting, is very interested in your film."
Lu Yang waved his hand quickly after hearing this
"What famous director, teacher? I will always be a student in front of you."
He extended his hand to Gu Wei.
"Hello, Junior Brother Gu, you are even more handsome than the teacher said."
Gu Wei also extended his hand and shook his
"Hello, Senior Brother Lu, although this is our first meeting, I have heard of your name before."
"Okay, you two can talk slowly. I still have classes, so I'm leaving now."
As he spoke, Teacher Xu walked out of the office with a few textbooks.
After some introductions, Gu Wei and Lu Yang got to know each other and started chatting with each other.
"Brother Lu, I've actually heard of your name a long time ago. I saw your movie 'Blind Cinema' before, and I really liked it. I heard that movie even won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Directorial Debut last year."
Gu Wei first complimented
"Hey, why are you saying all this? I just did my best to make a good film. Actually, it's not that great. Look, I still can't get the money for the film I want to make.
Investors today are very realistic. It doesn’t matter how many awards you win; they only care about whether you can make money.”
Lu Yang said with some sigh
"I've been preparing for this movie for over a year now, and I haven't raised a penny. It's so difficult!"
"Brother Lu, can you show me the script for the movie you're planning to shoot?"
Gu Wei asked
"I had already prepared the script. My teacher called me and when he heard you wanted to invest, I brought the script along with me."
Then he took out a white notebook and handed it to Gu Wei.
Gu Wei took it and saw three big words written on the cover:
【Embroidered Spring Knife】
I immediately felt at ease. I held the notebook in one hand and slowly turned the pages with the other hand as I started reading.
Lu Yang said to himself
"Brother, we are all family, and I can't lie to you. We brothers should talk about whatever we want.
I wrote this script when I was filming The Blind Cinema in 2010.
Unfortunately, once the script was written, the preparations for the film could no longer proceed.
This is a martial arts movie. I used to love watching martial arts movies and always dreamed of making one myself."
