Chapter 375 Resentment
After Li Manyu went back with the Fu family, Fu Ming became a lonely person again. He would play the victim to Gu Jinyan every day, saying that he was a lonely man and really pitiful. He asked for a meal and then ran to Gu's house after get off work every day.
Ye Qian felt disgusted. This guy was probably as thick-skinned as a dog. He was only serious when he was with Li Manyu. When Li Manyu was not around, he became the same as before. Fortunately, she only came back two days a week, otherwise it would be really annoying to see this guy every day.
Although Fu Ming was disliked, he still had to eat every day. After giving it to Li Manyu for household expenses, the remaining money was given to her family as food expenses.
Ye Qian was not polite and took it. It was natural to spend money on food and she was not embarrassed. Besides, her food could not be bought outside. After all, Fu Ming and Fu Shan ate so much that it was almost like feeding pigs.
The film had a successful box office run at the beginning of the summer, and taking advantage of the current enthusiasm, Professor Xiao suggested after class: "If you have time recently, let's adapt the second novel and film it."
Professor Xiao's suggestion surprised Ye Qian: "We just finished this one, and we're filming another one so soon."
"Well, strike while the iron is hot. The main thing is that your movie needs to be shot in Han City. If you edit the script now, you can finish filming before graduation, and your graduation resume will be more impressive."
Ye Qian was thinking, haha, why would a boss like her have such a dazzling resume? Perhaps Professor Xiao just wanted to make it even more impressive. But Ye Qian didn't expose the issue. It was fine to film it anyway, as she had been free lately, so she nodded in agreement. "Are you still the screenwriter from last time?"
"Yes." Professor Xiao nodded.
"My company will definitely invest in my own novel. Is it okay for He Jun to try out for the female lead role?"
It's her own novel, and she invested her own money, so there's no problem in choosing a female lead, but she still needs to make sure that things are said in advance.
Professor Xiao thought about it. He Jun was indeed good-looking and had good acting skills, but this time the role was quite important. Could she, a newcomer with only one film experience, handle it? Professor Xiao's mind was full of questions.
Seeing that Professor Xiao didn't say anything, Ye Qian interrupted, "I definitely don't want to lose money investing myself. I've been keeping an eye on He Jun's acting skills, so you can rest assured."
Professor Xiao thought about it and then smiled. Yes, they invested their own money in the film and they certainly wouldn't lose money. So he nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, you ask her to prepare well and read the original novel. I'll find someone to revise the script."
"Professor Xiao, let me be frank. I don't like random changes. It's better to keep it the same as last time, otherwise I won't pass it."
"OK."
After the two finished their conversation, Ye Qian went directly to the Performance Department. She wanted to inform He Jun of the good news, but they hadn't finished class yet. Ye Qian sneaked in from the back door of the classroom and sat down in a corner.
Everyone had already noticed the figure behind them, and they turned around curiously to look. It turned out to be Ye Qian.
It was not surprising that Ye Qian came to their department. The plays she wrote and directed were so popular that everyone in the school knew about it. Moreover, before she started directing plays, Ye Qian often came to their department secretly to watch their performances.
In the past, everyone thought they were waiting for He Jun to finish school together, after all, they were in the same dormitory.
But now I think that’s not the case. Waiting for He Jun is one thing, and watching everyone perform in class is another. After all, the extras we picked last time were all students with good performances in the class.
Everyone came together for Ye Qian, and they all gave their best, hoping that Ye Qian would remember them when the next film started shooting.
The professor in front saw that the students looked refreshed, and looked back. Sure enough, it was Ye Qian. The professor was no longer surprised by this kind of situation. She also understood that everyone had their own selfish motives, so she walked towards where Ye Qian was.
The professor walked up to Ye Qian and greeted her, then they both sat down. "What have you been busy with lately? You haven't been here for a while."
Ye Qian nodded, "I was really too busy some time ago."
The professor smiled at Ye Qian and said, "Hard work pays off."
Ye Qian didn't quite understand what the professor was saying. She just looked puzzled and hoped that the professor could explain it to her. However, the professor simply passed over the topic and said, "You are here to wait for He Jun."
"Forehead."
Yes and no.
"Do we have to choose actors again?"
"I guess so."
The professor didn't expect this to be true. She was just asking, thinking it was always good for her students to have more opportunities to learn, so she asked, "What are you filming this time?"
"It's my second novel, but it's not coming out soon. Professor Xiao just told me today that the script hasn't been revised yet."
Ye Qian and the professor were talking passionately, and the students in the class were also listening enthusiastically. Their voices were quite loud, and it was normal for those sitting close to them to hear them. For a moment, their thoughts were no longer hidden. The discussion below was getting louder and louder. The professor understood what these students were excited about, but he didn't know how to restrain himself. His voice was louder than the other two. The professor said in a stern voice, "Be quiet. We are in class now. Pay attention."
The classroom suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at each other awkwardly and started their respective performance classes again.
The professor was helpless: "They are still young and their tempers are hard to control."
"It's okay. They always need to be given opportunities to gain experience."
The professor nodded, thinking that Ye Qian was absolutely right. If you don't give newcomers opportunities, they will never be inexperienced.
Ye Qian chatted with the professor for a few minutes, and the acting class ended. As soon as the professor announced the end of get out of class, He Jun immediately ran towards Ye Qian. However, he was a step too late, and was blocked by a classmate who was very close to Ye Qian. No matter how hard he squeezed, he couldn't get in.
The classmates surrounded Ye Qian simply because they wanted to show their faces to others so that they could be remembered when the new drama started filming.
Ye Qian was a little uncomfortable with everyone's enthusiasm, so she quickly waved to He Jun behind her and said, "Come here quickly, it's time to eat."
He Jun immediately shouted, "Hey." Then he squeezed through the crowd, took Ye Qian's arm and walked out, leaving the classmates in the classroom with resentful feelings and pouting expressions.
Some students who were dissatisfied said, "Isn't it just taking advantage of a dormitory? I heard there is an empty bed in their dormitory, why not apply to transfer there?"
Another girl heard this and said, "Come on, you've already tried everything you need to try. The school won't let anyone move into that empty bed, just in case someone has bad intentions."
"That's right, let's study hard. I heard that the students who did well in the course were chosen last time. We just need to leave a good impression when the time comes."
The girls who had participated in Ye Qian's play last time were surrounded by their classmates: "Hey, can you tell us how you were selected?"
