"Ayuan, how is it?"

“…”

"This is an inspirational movie that tells a healing story between people and dogs."

"Will a smoker, alcoholic, drug addict, homeless person be an inspiration? Or a dog?"

"Yeah, it's good!"

"Don't go astray. We are elegant people and we won't make some banned films with strong tastes!"

"Ayuan, you are wrong. This is not an ordinary dog, and it is definitely not a banned film. What are you thinking?" Fatty Wei refuted firmly and seriously!

"What is that?"

"That was a skinny stray dog ​​that had just walked out of a dog slaughterhouse and had survived..."

"Inspirational?"

“Very inspiring!”

"Why did you think of me!"

"Because you are a heavy smoker, and you are addicted to it. Especially if you quit smoking for a day and then smoke again, the feeling is really like taking drugs. I think it would be good to use it as your true self in the movie. It will really shine!"

“…”

Lu Yuan suddenly didn't know how to refute.

Lu Yuan could see strong confidence and passion in Fatty Wei's eyes.

When he saw Lu Yuan, his eyes were full of lust.

He looked like a virgin who had just tasted the sweetness of sex and was eager to have a great time until the sun went down.

Lu Yuan looked at the moon outside the window, and then at the somewhat empty company lobby.

In the past, he should have come to celebrate without saying a word, but now Lu Yuan suddenly found that he had lost interest.

"Have you been drinking?"

"I drank a little."

"Go to sleep, we'll talk tomorrow."

"A Yuan, I'm serious. After Buried Alive is released, we will prepare for this movie, The Wanderer! The investment doesn't need to be much. It can be controlled within 1.3 million. It's totally within our reach. Moreover, we can make a big profit with a small investment. It's tear-jerking and inspiring!"

"I'm a little sleepy..."

"Why don't you read the script first and then go to sleep?"

"Okay, okay!"

Seeing Fatty Wei being so twisted, Lu Yuan was finally speechless. He turned on the lights in the hall and took the script from Fatty Wei.

At first he had no interest in the script, but after reading it for a while, he suddenly felt that the script was not bad.

Lu Yuan suddenly felt a sense of identification with the description of the male protagonist's high school years.

"How about it?"

"not bad……"

"Is this the next movie our company will make?"

"Okay."

"You are the leading actor, so I will be the director this time?" Fatty Wei glanced at Lu Yuan tentatively.

"Okay, no problem!"

"Then I should buy this script first?"

"How much?"

"About 7,000 yuan."

"Oh wait, how much?"

"The asking price is seven thousand dollars, but if you talk a little, you can probably buy it for around five thousand."

"Oh." Lu Yuan felt that the script seemed a bit cheap.

Can you buy a notebook for five thousand?

"Well... can you transfer 7,000 to me?"

"Didn't I just give you the director's dividends?"

"I used it to pay off my previous debts... I paid 20,000 yuan to Lao Li... And this script is so good, and you are the boss of our company, so..."

"Okay, okay!" Lu Yuan was speechless when he saw Fatty Wei's embarrassed look, but he still beat him in the end.

"Okay, boss, that's perfect!" Fatty Wei had a delighted look on his face, his smile as bright as a blossoming flower, and he was extremely servile.

He seemed to see a beautiful life waving at him...

Everything looks beautiful.

China’s future great director is here!

…

The time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of August.

Although the weather in August is as hot as usual, it is a little cooler than in July.

There are film crews of all sizes coming to Hengdian every day, and there are countless extras and stars everywhere. All kinds of hotels are also full every day, and business is so good that Lu Yuan is very envious.

Lu Yuan even fantasized about opening a hotel specifically for celebrities to stay in.

Unfortunately, Lu Yuan knew that this was just a dream after all.

Why?

Nonsense, because I’m poor!

Why are you opening a hotel with just a few hundred thousand yuan? Aren't you talking nonsense?

After all, reality is not a dream. It’s enough to just imagine it. If you really want to do it, you are a fool.

Fatty Wei was taking care of the movie videos, so Lu Yuan didn't have to put in much effort. During this time, he had been reading various books on acting, and occasionally turned on the TV to watch some art films in this world to learn from them. Many of the things he learned were quite good...

certainly……

"What do you call that guy?"

"Call me brother, what's wrong?"

“…”

“Beep, beep, beep.”

During this period, Wang Jinxue made a very brief phone call to Lu Yuan. After Lu Yuan answered the questions, Wang Jinxue hung up the phone.

Lu Yuan was a little confused. After he called, Wang Jinxue's phone was turned off.

In the next ten days, Wang Jinxue never called Lu Yuan again, as if she had disappeared out of thin air.

Women are truly an amazing group of creatures.

Lu Yuan couldn't figure it out, so he could only shake his head and not think about it any more.

Of course he does not admit that he has low emotional intelligence.

Even people with high emotional intelligence can sometimes fall into a misunderstanding, right?

It is normal to fall into misunderstandings.

And he is not studying psychology.

Another thing worth mentioning in August is that Lu Yuan became famous.

Although he didn’t become famous overnight, his various news were on the headlines of major portals for two consecutive days...

Especially that interview video, which ranked second on the Yousou video website for four consecutive days!

Although the number of clicks was nearly three times higher than the first place...

So what is number one?

The first one is naturally the trailer of "Subway Station"...

After all, the popularity of director Zhang Tong and a group of celebrities cannot be underestimated. There is no problem in simply crushing an interview video of Lu Yuan. Even though he was crushed, Lu Yuan also got some popularity.

After all, he is a singer in the trailer, and he is the kind of singer whose face is shown for dozens of seconds...

Because of Lu Yuan's fame, his "Buried Alive" gradually became known to netizens in August.

People know that this is a low-budget movie, with a total investment of only one million...

But, an actor's movie is really a big gimmick!

Many people are looking forward to how an actor’s movie will be shot.

Although "Buried" is ranked 49th in popularity on the movie portal Tomato.com, which is completely inferior to the eighth-ranked "Capital City" directed by Shen Lianjie, it is at least in the top 50, right?

With a small investment of one million, a new director, and out-of-date actors, it can make it into the top 50, which is an incredible achievement.

Reality is reality after all, it is impossible for such a great operation to suddenly happen.

Many things need to be settled, accumulated and brewed.

For Lu Yuan, now he just needs to sleep well, take a shower and do his hair after waking up, go to the premiere of "Buried Alive", and then wait for the first day box office results to come out.

Others...

There's nothing to worry about.

Even if the movie flopped at the box office, he remained calm...

Anyway, I have hundreds of thousands of dollars in my pocket, so I can just go home and open a shop...

…

August 30th, sunny.

"The movie will be released tomorrow, Brother Shen, are you nervous?"

"What do you think?"

“Not nervous at all.”

"Of course. By the way, has the sample been sent to the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards?"

"Xiao Wang has already sent it over."

"Oh, that's good."

"By the way, I heard that the movie Buried Alive was also delivered."

"The one with Fatty Wei?"

"yes!"

"Don't tell me such clownish things, or I'll laugh my teeth off."

"Brother Shen, Fatty Wei is clamoring to compete with you, what are you going to do..."

"What are you trying to do? If an ant provokes an elephant, how can the elephant pay any attention to him? What qualifications does Fatty Wei have to compete with me? It's just a movie that the theater chain is willing to buy. If I pay attention to him, won't he just be taking advantage of my popularity?"

"That's right, just ignore him and let him fend for himself! Brother Shen is indeed a man of foresight!"

"It's good that you understand. Don't disgust me with this kind of garbage information in the future. You just need to wait for the box office results to come out and give a brief report. Do you understand?"

"clear."

"Go down."

"good!"

…

"Old Wang, you have poor vision."

"Old Liu, your vision is not good."

"How dare you show such a low-budget movie?"

"Haha, a low budget doesn't necessarily mean you can't make a good movie."

"You are too idealistic. Wake up. You are not young anymore. You should schedule more screenings for "Capital City". After all, your cinema chain is only considered second-tier..."

"No, how can we change what has been decided..."

"It's up to you then. When you lose a lot of money, don't come and talk nonsense to me. I, Tian Qin, won't be so stupid. You're just a clothes seller. Don't try to run a theater chain like others. You can't do it."

"Haha, everyone has their own aspirations."

"Haha, okay."
