2002, Hengdian, summer.
Lu Yuan put out his cigarette, glanced at the script that he had spent five hours writing, and spat fiercely.
He was going to make a change!
Hengdian is always hot in June, but the heat is also a bit stuffy.
Looking at the long-legged girls in Hengdian who were dressed up and flamboyant and the director who was as arrogant as an idiot, he, as a time traveler, finally made a very bold decision...
He wants to trick fat sheep into investing in him.
fraud?
Just be a liar!
In this damn world, who else can it deceive if not the honest people?
If you don't lie to others, others will lie to you.
At least Lu Yuan had been cheated out of a lot of money.
All right.
Lu Yuan was an honest man five hours ago, but five hours later...
He decided not to be an honest man anymore.
"Well, I look really decent after putting on the suit. Even if it's a second-hand one, it doesn't look much worse." Lu Yuan looked in the mirror beside the road, showing a very showy expression that he thought was handsome, and nodded with satisfaction.
You get what you pay for.
A second-hand Newback suit for two hundred bucks is still pretty good.
He lowered his head and glanced at the "Yanying Film Academy Directing Department Undergraduate Diploma" in his hand, then smiled.
The script is ready, the costumes are ready, and the deceptive sentences are ready...
Everything is ready, only the fat sheep is missing...
…
Hengdian is bustling with people coming and going, with tourists, actors and directors running around everywhere.
This year, a movie called "The Capital" with an investment of 30 million yuan is being filmed in Hengdian...
This is a film shot by China's third-generation emerging director Shen Lianjie and the popular actress Liu Fangfei, and the filming location is quite large.
When passing by the crew of "Capital City", Lu Yuan subconsciously lit his last cigarette, glanced at the crew, and looked enviously at Shen Lianjie who was sitting on the podium, cursing and spitting.
People who are rich, good-looking and talented have always been the envy of poor people like Lu Yuan.
"Bah, you look like a dog..."
After spitting without any manners and cursing sourly about envy, jealousy and hatred, Lu Yuan continued walking towards the tourist parking lot.
Bluffing is a technical job.
Especially the job of defrauding hundreds of thousands of dollars in investment is a skill among skills.
There are countless luxury cars parked in the parking lot.
Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz...
After screening for a long time, Lu Yuan finally set his sights on a pink Lamborghini.
The owner of the car is a girl wearing sunglasses.
Young girls who have not yet entered society are generally easy to deceive.
Stupid people with lots of money.
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment when he took off his sunglasses.
The girl is laughing.
She looks innocent with her white canine teeth exposed, and she is wearing a pink floral dress that flutters in the wind, which makes people inexplicably intoxicated.
The air was filled with the scent of flowers.
She looks simple yet noble, with a hint of youthful girlishness.
Angels on earth?
So fucking beautiful!
Lu Yuan, a poor and stupid guy, couldn't describe the girl's beauty in words, he could only think of these five words.
After he finished his daze, Lu Yuan put out his cigarette, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the girl without saying a word.
The June sun is a bit hot.
To be honest, Lu Yuan was a little nervous.
After all, he was a homeboy and a virgin, and it was the first time he was seriously trying to fool someone, so his palms were sweaty.
The thin script began to show a little moisture.
But he must make changes and stop being an honest man!
come on!
Lu Yuan!
After completing this task, you will be rich!
Lu Yuan kept cheering himself up in his heart, and at the same time, no less than hundreds of pick-up plans from Douyin before the time travel suddenly popped up in his mind. These pick-up plans even made Lu Yuan feel confident that he was a love guru.
He quickened his pace...
He felt that hope was just beyond him!
"stop!"
"Um?"
“Here’s my director’s license, and here’s my script.”
"ah?"
A gust of wind blew up Wang Jinxue's long skirt. Wang Jinxue looked strangely at the young man who suddenly appeared, panting and with a flushed face, and subconsciously took his director's certificate and script.
"Take a look at my...my script..."
Lu Yuan really wanted to slap himself in the face, then turn around and run away!
He is nervous!
He stuttered!
Damn, this is completely different from the opening remarks I had in mind?
Where are the promised pick-up techniques, the promised routines, the promised politeness?
What is this?
But the arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot.
Lu Yuan couldn't let his deception end in tragedy, right?
In the end, he could only bite the bullet and put on a smile that he thought was kind and charming.
"Forehead……"
Wang Jinxue was still a little confused about the situation at the moment, but at first glance she felt that Lu Yuan didn't look like a liar.
At least Wang Jinxue felt that it was impossible for such a naive and foolish liar to exist in the world.
"Sorry, I don't make movies, nor am I an actor." Wang Jinxue looked up at Lu Yuan with a polite smile.
"I'm not asking you to make a movie." Lu Yuan shook his head.
"Then you are..."
"I have a good script, I'm a very good director and actor, and I'm also the owner of the 'Remote' film company." Lu Yuan felt his tongue was a little tied.
He found it a bit awkward, but in the end he still reached into his pocket firmly and took out his first step!
“Puff!”
Wang Jinxue suddenly laughed.
She thought the man was very interesting.
She especially found it amusing when someone was obviously sincere but deliberately pretended to be a bad actor with poor acting skills.
At least it's different from the people who used to surround me.
The young man looked sincere, his eyes were clear, and his smile was reassuring.
"This is my business card." After looking at Wang Jinxue's smile, Lu Yuan still took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Wang Jinxue in a serious manner.
"Lu Yuan?" Wang Jinxue took a look at the business card, as well as the company and phone number on it.
"Yes, my name is Lu Yuan. I think we can..."
"Can we cooperate?" Wang Jinxue continued to laugh, a deep laugh with a hint of sarcasm in it.
"Ah?" Lu Yuan's serious expression froze for a moment, and then he regained his composure. "Girl, I think my script..."
"Your script has great potential, and it can achieve great results with a small investment, and win various awards?" Wang Jinxue continued to interrupt.
“…”
Lu Yuan opened his mouth.
He felt as if his words were spoken by Wang Jinxue.
And it seemed that Wang Jinxue was the one who dominated this deception.
The feeling is completely different from what I imagined.
Wang Jinxue looked at the speechless Lu Yuan and her smile became brighter and more beautiful.
She opened the script and took a first look.
"Director Lu Yuan, your handwriting is very tasteful... If I were you, I would spend thirty dollars to print a copy of the script, which would look more professional, and I would also adjust the tie next to my suit." Wang Jinxue raised her eyes slightly and looked at Lu Yuan.
There was a hint of teasing in her voice.
“……”Lu Yuan was a little speechless.
He suddenly didn't know what to say.
My handwriting is indeed a bit bad.
It seems that I should...
Print it?
Damn it!
I have learned a lot.
"You're not professional... And if you want to fool people, you need a better prop, such as this script with typos."
"Props? The script is not a prop!"
"Do you think this beautiful lady is innocent and naive, and easy to be deceived?"
"Liar! You are insulting my personality! I like the original artistic atmosphere. The value of some things cannot be described in words. Good things will only be given to people who know the value. If you don't know the value, don't say it's not good. Give me back the script... I'm leaving."
Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed that his deception had been exposed in front of him, but he still stubbornly put on a serious expression.
He felt that this fat sheep was smarter than he had imagined.
He felt that his plan might fail.
He wants to take his script back and continue looking for the next buyer.
He's planning to run away!
Damn it, don't make these mistakes next time.
"Get in the car." After Wang Jinxue glanced at the script, her smile suddenly turned serious. She then held the script in her arms, opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and started the Lamborghini.
"Huh? Where to?"
"Do you want to talk about investment with me here? Get in the car, I'll treat you to a cup of coffee." Wang Jinxue put on sunglasses.
"???"
Lu Yuan was stunned again.
Drink coffee?
invest?
What does this mean?
Did I succeed?
Lu Yuan's heart was in a mess, but he still maintained his composure and got into the car.
