"Brother, come and root?"

"Thank you, I don't smoke."

"oh."

As the sun sets, the sunset glow dyes the horizon red, giving the sky a unique flavor.

When Lu Yuan looked at Li Qing, who was wearing glasses and had a gentle manner, a sincere and honest smile appeared on his face. Fatty Wei stood next to Lu Yuan with excitement in his eyes and rubbed his hands from time to time.

"Are you really going to make a movie?" Li Qing looked at Lu Yuan with a skeptical look in his eyes.

No matter how you look at it, Lu Yuan, wearing a second-hand suit and with his hair done in an indeterminate way, doesn't look like a movie star.

"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded.

"The total investment is only 800,000?"

"Um."

"Making a movie is not an easy thing. It's hard to make a good movie with an investment of 800,000 yuan." Li Qing shook his head, with a hint of silence in the depths of his eyes. The last bit of expectation in his heart was completely shattered.

When Fatty Wei talked about funding on the phone, he was full of energy and confidence, and when he talked about the script, he boasted a lot, as if this movie was an international blockbuster that was bound to be a big hit.

Because of this, Li Qing chose to meet with Fatty Wei to talk about movies.

Before coming, he was looking forward to it.

After arriving, when Li Qing learned that the total investment was only 800,000 yuan, there was only one actor, Lu Yuan, and the director was a fool who was kicked out of the house, his mood instantly became bad.

This is no longer something that can be described as a poor crew.

This is simply a scam and a liar...

"There are always exceptions." Lu Yuan looked at Li Qing. He was very honest, so he explained almost everything about the crew as soon as they met.

Lu Yuan was not in a position to brag about the total investment and some arrangements...

Some things can be fooled, but with some things it is better to be honest, otherwise it will end badly.

A combination of real and fake deceptions, coupled with some natural acting, this is what makes a master of deception.

Well, Lu Yuan didn’t suddenly understand these things, but he saw them in a second-hand book called “How to Be a Liar” that he bought from a nearby bookstore.

Lu Yuan deeply agreed with this and believed it to be the truth.

After all, he is a man who wants to be the king of tricks.

"With an investment of 800,000, how much do you think the box office will be?" Li Qing pushed up his glasses and said seriously, "The movie market is becoming increasingly sluggish now. Even a movie with an investment of tens of millions will flop. What's more, your movie with an investment of 800,000, sorry, pardon my bluntness, you may not even be able to be shown in theaters. You have worked in vain and it will only become a joke in the end."

"How do you know it won't work if you don't try? No one has ever stipulated that a movie with an investment of 800,000 yuan can't have good box office, right?" Lu Yuan turned his head and looked at the sunset in the distance while smoking a cigarette. He was not scared by Li Qing's words, but was quite confident.

He is actually the one with the least pressure.

"Confidence is a good thing, but blindly wasting time is a bad thing. Look, the sun is setting and another day has passed. What do you see? I always feel that time should not be wasted on meaningless things." Li Qing smiled. His smile was neither sarcastic nor contemptuous. He just began to avoid the question politely.

"How do you know it's meaningless if you haven't tried it? And you haven't even read the script."

"Do you think I need to see a script with a total investment of 800,000?"

"Don't you need it?"

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. This film "Capital" has taken up too much of my time. I need to have a good rest. Besides, I have an appointment with Tianyu Group. The next movie will be in three months, and I also need to conserve my energy for the next movie. I'm sorry, here I can only wish you immediate success and a big box office hit." When the last rays of sunset faded away, Li Qing smiled again, pushed his glasses again, and then turned around politely.

He left.

And it should be done without any delay.

He had no time to play house with these people.

At this moment, Lu Yuan glanced at Wei Wuji with a slightly ambiguous look in his eyes and a slight curve at the corners of his mouth.

"Old Li, I think there are some things we should talk about. We are all young people. I think we need to sit down and have a cup of coffee, listen to music, and talk about our ideals. Oh, yes, we are all literary youths..."

Wei Wuji understood Lu Yuan's intention after meeting his gaze. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. The impatient expression on his face suddenly turned into a bright smile and he followed Li Qing.

"Artistic youth? What do you mean?"

"Yeah, I think it's not easy to talk outside. After all, there are not many people here and there's no atmosphere. In fact, many things can be discussed in detail." Lu Yuan also laughed, and his smile was bright and polite.

"Didn't you call me here to talk?" Li Qing felt a little strange when he saw their bright smiles.

It seems that there is a little bit of bad intention?

Why does this expression seem a little off?

He suddenly became alert.

"Fatty! You grab the body and I'll grab the feet!"

But at this moment, Lu Yuan suddenly shouted loudly.

"Lu Yuan, don't call me fat!"

"Pan him!"

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Let me tell you, this is kidnapping! Let me tell you..."

When the sun sets and only the afterglow remains, the red glow shines on Li Qing's face...

Li Qing only felt that his body was being pulled upside down by Fatty Wei, and he felt dizzy. He tried to raise his legs to struggle, but unexpectedly, his legs were grabbed by Lu Yuan and dragged away unreasonably...

"What are you doing? What are you doing! Let me go, I'm calling the police!"

The two men were both very powerful and extremely rude, leaving Li Qing completely powerless to resist. He kept shouting...

But, it's no use.

The two men, one in front and one behind, carried the dizzy Li Qing as if they were carrying a boar to slaughter. Their legs were running very fast. At the same time, the smiles on their faces became brighter and brighter, and they cooperated very happily.

The back is getting longer and longer...

As for Li Qing, his wails became increasingly miserable and painful, as sad as a boar being prepared for slaughter.

In his heart, he had already cursed these two barbarians to death and cursed their ancestors countless times.

…

The "Remote Film Company" is not located on the busy street in Hengdian.

But it is on the side of a remote alley.

Professor Zheng Guolong searched for a long time before he finally found this shell company whose billboards were almost all gone.

Looking at this small storefront, Zheng Guolong felt quite disappointed.

It looks very dilapidated.

The talented kid lives here?

Zheng Guolong shook his head and looked at the key locked outside the "company", feeling a little helpless.

That guy is not in the company.

What a pity.

Originally, I came here specially to meet that boy and talk about the song "To Alice" and give him some advice on his future, but now it seems that I have returned with nothing.

Although he was helpless, Zheng Guolong was not too disappointed.

He just felt it was a pity.

Apart from the food, there are some regrets.

Go back.

I'll see next time I come.

Zheng Guolong shook his head and turned to leave, but just as he turned around, he suddenly saw two young men with glasses and a red face walking towards him...

Li Qing?

He knew the young man. He was one of the professional cameramen in Tianyu Group and had graduated from Yanying University.

As for the other two...

One is a fat man with a bright smile, and the other is a young man who looks quite honest.

Then Zheng Guolong set his eyes on the young man.

This young man looked familiar.

Is that the Lu Yuan in the video?

The talented young people are truly the ones who push the older generation forward.

"Damn it, Old Li, do you have to let us invite you like this before you come here? Can't everyone just be quiet? You look like a suicidal person!" Wei Wuji laughed, still as brightly as ever.

"Yeah, Lao Li, come, have a cigarette. Oh, I forgot you don't smoke... Well, let's talk about the script and shooting details later... Damn, why are there no cigarettes? Fatty Wei, can you give me a pack of cigarettes later?" Lu Yuan took out an empty cigarette box and shook his head speechlessly.

"Fuck, don't order me around. I'm the director you hired, not your subordinate!"

“…”

"I said, can you please let me go?"

"I'll let you go once you get back to the house."

When Zheng Guolong heard the two voices and saw Li Qing's face full of despair, he was stunned.

Is this young man who speaks foul language really the talented young man who wrote "Für Alice"?

this……

Something doesn't seem right.

"Stop, are you Lu Yuan?" When Lu Yuan and Zheng Guolong passed by each other, Zheng Guolong finally stopped Lu Yuan.

"Ah, uncle, do you know me?" Lu Yuan was stunned, looking at the old man with glasses who looked a bit like an uncle who collected rent.

"You, you, you...you, you are..." Fatty Wei's originally bright smile suddenly twitched.

"Zheng, Professor Zheng..." Li Qing, who was caught between the two men, was also dumbfounded and began to stutter.
