It was still naturally hot in Hengdian at the end of June, so hot that Fatty Wei was sweating all over, as if he had just swum in a swimming pool.
Most fat people hate summer.
Fatty Wei is naturally no exception.
If possible, he would like to go back to the house, lie down on his back, and let the air-conditioning blow all over his body. It would not matter even if he died in the house.
but……
That's just a dream.
"Buried Alive" written by Lu Yuan is a good thriller and suspense script. Fatty Wei swears that if he can make this movie, the box office will definitely not be bad, and he may even leave a deep mark in the future history of Chinese cinema.
The premise is...
Lu Yuan, the only leading actor, has good acting skills.
Fatty Wei was skeptical about this.
"Want one?"
"Um."
“It tastes good, doesn’t it?”
"good."
The filming of "Capital City" was nearing its end, and the crew had begun to do some reshoots. At noon, Lu Yuan and Fatty Wei came to the crew of "Capital City" again to stay.
Whenever he was near the crew of "Capital City", Fatty Wei always felt like peeing, and always wanted to unzip his pants to vent his unhappiness of being put on a hat, but this time Fatty Wei suddenly didn't feel like peeing anymore.
Maybe, something has changed.
He feels that he will most likely become a big-name director in the future.
How can a big director vent his anger in front of other people's crew so casually?
quality!
What a great director needs is quality.
Of course, the most important reason is that the crew is very lively today. Countless reporters, countless fans, and editors are eagerly waiting for the completion of "Capital City"...
In short, it’s all kinds of snapping.
What if Fatty Wei was accidentally photographed in a place he shouldn't be photographed, such as a part that can bend and stretch...
Ahem…
That's hi.
Lu Yuan lit up a "Honglan" and smoked it comfortably with Fatty Wei.
Everything is ready except the east wind.
Fatty Wei had an acquaintance in the crew of "Capital City", so Fatty Wei wanted to take advantage of the final shooting of "Capital City" to pimp out some money.
After all, even a movie with a low investment still needs a crew, lighting technicians, makeup artists, cameramen and the like.
It’s best to have a ready-made one, so you don’t have to look for it everywhere, which is troublesome...
Lu Yuan waved his hand and naturally had no opinion on this. He also acted as if he trusted you, Fatty Wei, and asked you not to let me down. You can spend as much as you want within the investment of 800,000 yuan. My movie is fully under your control, and I will only be your assistant...
At that moment, Lu Yuan's facial expressions, movements, and even the details of the voice were all performed very well, just like Liu Bei's passionate look when he met Zhuge Liang and held Zhuge Liang's hand.
This scene made Fatty Wei a little excited, and he even inexplicably felt like dying for his friend.
If it were in ancient times, he would probably bow down and shout "My Lord is mighty", and at the same time swear in his heart that he would build a kingdom for his Lord...
As for calling Lu Yuan a liar, Fatty Wei had long forgotten about it.
Of course, Fatty Wei naturally didn't know that Lu Yuan didn't know anything about movies, and he didn't quite understand where to spend money and where not to spend money...
Lu Yuan, who knows nothing about movies, wants to trick others into helping him make a movie. Is it possible without using some pretentious and sensational stuff?
Of course not...
so……
He tried hard to fool people and cooperated with others in fooling people.
In short, it's OK if it can be photographed with 800,000 yuan. As for the quality...
As long as we can cope with it and it’s not a breach of contract, the box office really doesn’t matter.
Are there still few movie box office flops nowadays?
Missing only one?
At most, it will add some bad movies to the Chinese film industry...
The horizon in the distance is beautiful and the sky is vast and boundless.
Fatty Wei was squatting on the small hill in front of the crew's door, and suddenly he felt an inexplicable emotion.
"Lu Yuan, do you have a dream?" He put out the cigarette butt and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
"dream?"
"Yes, dream..."
"You don't have a fever, do you? Have one." Lu Yuan was really not used to it when he saw Fatty Wei, who was squatting on the ground with a wretched face, suddenly become serious.
The word "dream" really sounds nonsense when it comes out of Fatty Wei's mouth.
It even sounds a little funny.
"I'm not going to smoke anymore. Let me ask you, do you have a dream?" Fatty Wei suddenly stood up and looked at the sky, then looked at the crew of "Capital City".
He had his back to Lu Yuan.
The sound is incredibly rich and deep.
"Yes... I have a dream." Lu Yuan looked at Fatty Wei's serious and pretentious look, feeling quite uncomfortable. He also stood up and held a "Honglan" in his mouth with a bit of pretentiousness.
"My dream is to become a great director and let the whole of China... No! It's to let the whole world know me, Wei Wuji!" Fatty Wei put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance.
It seemed as if he was talking to himself, and also as if he was talking to Lu Yuan.
"Oh, wait a minute, I'm going to pee." Lu Yuan suddenly looked up at the sky and felt that the weather was damn hot. Looking at the dark clouds and Fatty Wei who seemed to be immersed in the world of pretentiousness, he was afraid that a bolt of lightning would come down and kill Fatty Wei.
He didn't want to be buried with this fat man.
"Lu Yuan, what is your dream?" Fatty Wei called out to Lu Yuan.
"My dream is big... well, very vast." Lu Yuan shook his head and tried to stay away from Fatty Wei.
"I've seen it in starting a company, making movies, and writing scripts..."
"What did you see?" Lu Yuan, who was about to sit down somewhere lower, was stunned.
"You must have big ambitions! You want to conquer Hengdian, conquer China, conquer Hollywood, conquer the world..." Fatty Wei suddenly turned around and stared at Lu Yuan.
"..." Lu Yuan looked at Fatty Wei and his arm twitched instantly, and his hand was almost burned by the cigarette.
He was greatly shocked.
What does your look of seeing through me mean?
Have I ever thought about that?
"Isn't it? Or rather, you're not?" Fatty Wei heard that Lu Yuan had no response and suddenly felt that he didn't know how to pretend any longer, so his voice became heroic.
He was hinting at Lu Yuan to continue what he was saying.
He felt that Lu Yuan should say something sensational next: Our journey is to the stars and the sea.
Young people lack everything except confidence and courage.
Besides, it’s their first movie, so they’re inevitably excited and it’s normal for them to say something bold.
It’s a waste of youth if you don’t become an immature person!
He turned around and continued to face away from Lu Yuan.
In this situation, if there were not more and more reporters, fans and staff from afar, and if there were not more and more things to be filmed, he would even want to pee in the wind to express his emotions!
The sun was setting in the west, dark clouds were gradually covering the area, and the entire distant area no longer looked bright but rather a little gloomy.
When Lu Yuan saw Fatty Wei's childish demeanor, he was immediately moved. He was so moved that he couldn't help but kick him to express his feelings.
“Bang!”
"Fuck, why are you kicking me..."
"Why are you pretending to be so arrogant now? Go and get some help! The shooting over there has been completed!"
"What, we're done for work so early? Holy shit!"
Fatty Wei staggered and was about to get angry, but when he heard whistles coming from the "Capital City" crew, he quickly took out his cell phone and rushed down the hill.
"Hello, Lao Li, I'm Xiao Wei, yes, yes, yes..."
"Can we meet?"
"Tired? I have work! I have a good script, I have funding... I have everything, all I need is your makeup team and filming team!"
"Nonsense? How is that possible? I promise it's true. Let's come over for a drink and have a good chat!"
"I'm really going to make a movie, I'm not kidding you!"
"Can you still not believe me?"
Lu Yuan looked at Fatty Wei's back, then looked at the sky.
He lit another "Red Orchid".
like……
Are the clouds dissipating a little?
…
"Professor Zheng, Lu Yuan said he's not in Hengdian? That's impossible. I just invested in his movie, and he's probably setting up the crew now."
"Where is his company?"
"The company? The company is at... Oh, yes, the company is at the last section of Sanba Street, the second last storefront."
"Then I'll go meet him in person. I think he thought I was a liar over the phone."
"Treating you as a liar? Ah? This fellow... I'm going to call him right now and give him a good scolding."
"No need. It's right for young people to be cautious. I was also very cautious when I was young. Haha, talented people are like this."
"You really do?"
"I'd better go over there. I want to see if this talented young man is in the company. Some things are better discussed in person. After all, they are quite important."
"Oh well……"
