let go of that director

Chapter 2 This is... trying to fool me?
Dongguk University, on-campus cafe.

March in Yangchun is the season of warm spring and blooming flowers.

The bright sunlight shines into the cafe through the floor-to-ceiling windows, adding a warm and cozy color to the whole cafe.

Xu Xian sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, picked up the coffee and took a sip, then put down the coffee, gently opened a page of the book, and began to read it seriously.

However, just after reading a paragraph, the gaze moved down, and suddenly a shadow was cast on the page, and then a warm voice rang in the ear——

"Hello."

Xu Xian raised his head in surprise——

What caught her eyes was a Yingwei boy with a height of at least 1 meters, a deep silhouette, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and fair and delicate skin.Different from the pretty boys that are prevalent in South Korea at the moment, although the boy in front of him looks more delicate, he doesn't have that kind of feminine beauty at all.

Slightly taken aback, Xu Xian quickly stood up and bowed to salute: "Hello, Senior Li Chengyou."

Li Chengyou was startled for a moment, and said in surprise, "You know me?"

Xu Xian said politely and respectfully: "Yes, senior, I heard about you from my classmates before."

Li Chengyou blinked and understood.

In this face-based world, being handsome still has an advantage, thank you again for my handsome face.

Both are at Dongguk University, with only one class difference. Lee Seung-woo enrolled in 2009, and Seo Hyun enrolled in 2010. Although he is in the Department of Film and Video, and Seo Hyun is in the Department of Drama and Film, they are both majors in film and television.In addition, in this world of looking at faces, especially in South Korea, where appearance is paramount, it is not surprising that handsome boys are rumored in certain circles.

It seems that he also knows that Xu Xian is a star alumnus of Dongguk University. He usually comes to Dongguk University to take classes whenever he is not working. In his spare time, he likes to read quietly in this coffee shop.

Smiling, Li Chengyou said: "Since you know me too, we don't need to introduce each other. By the way, don't be so formal, sit down."

With that said, Li Chengyou walked across to Xu Xian and sat down low.

Xu Xian: "..."

Looking at Li Chengyou speechlessly, the corner of his mouth twitched undetectably.

Just as Li Chengyou thought, although Dongguk University doesn't judge the so-called school beauty like in the novel, the handsome men and women are still well-known among the students.Xu Xian has always been a three-good student, needless to say if he has a job, and he never skips classes when he is not working.Because of this, even though Xu Xian didn't deliberately inquire, he often heard about some well-known figures in the school through female classmates.

So for Lee Seung Woo, although it was the first time to meet formally, Seo Hyun was no stranger.

What made her puzzled was why did Li Chengyou come to her suddenly?

never will be...

Just when Xu Xian couldn't help diverging his thoughts, Li Chengyou spoke.

"If there is an opportunity in front of you that will make you famous and rich, would you be interested in knowing about it?"

Uh?
Xu Xian was a little confused.

This is... trying to fool me?
Everyone likes such things as pie in the sky, but anyone with a brain can know that if you are greedy for petty gains, you will suffer big losses. If it is not relative, you will come to me if there is such a good thing?
Xu Xian looked at Li Chengyou suspiciously, and had already carved two big words on Li Chengyou's forehead in his heart——

fraud!

Seeing this, Li Chengyou smiled sincerely: "There's no need to look at me like this, right? I admit that I took the liberty to come here, and it's normal for you to have doubts. But Confucius said that you judge a person by appearance, and the lost child is judged by words." People, the one who loses is Zaiyu, watch his actions, and then watch his words. Since I am looking for you to seek cooperation, I will definitely not deceive you just by talking about it. With your prudence and intelligence, I don't think anyone can. I really lied to you."

Xu Xian smiled reservedly, but did not respond.

However, curiosity about the so-called cooperation in Li Chengyou's mouth inevitably surged up, and he also had more patience to hear what Li Chengyou would say next.

Li Chengyou smiled and didn't say any more. Instead, he opened his briefcase, took out a script, and handed it to Xu Xian: "This is the script I wrote. You can read it first. If you are interested, we will write it next." Let's talk again."

Xu Xian was slightly taken aback, looked at the script handed over, hesitated a little, and reached out to take it.

As a student of Dongguk University, Lee Seung-woo is also a well-known 'celebrity' in the school, so although Seo Hyun doesn't know much about Lee Seung-woo, he still has a certain understanding.

As far as Xu Xian knows, Lee Seung Woo was born in 1990, one year older than her, and is currently a junior majoring in film and video directing, so Xu Xian is not surprised that Lee Seung Woo can write a script. ——Most Korean directors write and direct themselves, and the ability to create scripts can be said to be one of the basic abilities of Korean directors. ——But what makes Xu Xianxin suspicious is that, according to Lee Seung-woo, we are looking for her to cooperate... Could it be that he wants to shoot a short film and invite her to star in it?
If you think about it carefully, there is indeed a great possibility.

Although she is only a student and has never made a guest appearance in a TV series, she is a member of Girls' Generation after all. It is not surprising that Lee Seung Woo wants to use her fame to hype.

only……

Looking at Li Chengyou again, Xu Xian shook his head secretly in his heart.

Just because she is a member of Girls' Generation, it is even more impossible for her to appear in Lee Seung Woo's short film. For the sake of Girls' Generation's reputation, even if she is willing, the company will not agree.

After all, Lee Seung-woo was just a little-known student, and the company couldn't let her take the risk of appearing in such a short film made at such a low cost.

What's more, most of the student works like this will not have a high salary, and the company is even less likely to agree.

Thinking of this, Xu Xian's interest inexplicably faded when he lowered his head and glanced at the script in his hand.

But now that he has accepted it, due to politeness, Xu Xian can't refuse it directly at this moment, so he can only look at it a few times, and then find a reason to decline tactfully.

Lowering his head, Xu Xian first looked at the title of the script——

"Don't Stop the Camera! "

Turn one page, and the next page is the synopsis——

A film crew is shooting a zombie movie somewhere deep in the ruins of a mountain.The director pursued the realism of the scene wholeheartedly, and the actors took 42 consecutive shots and still failed to meet the requirement.Unexpectedly, real zombies appeared at this time.Regardless of the lives of the rest of the crew, the director yelled for the camera not to stop, asking the heroine to kill a bloody path...

Huh?
This is... a zombie movie?
Kind of interesting.

A faint curiosity rose in Xu Xian's heart, and he couldn't help but concentrate.

After half an hour.

Xu Xian closed the script, exhaled lightly, and looked at Li Chengyou.

Li Chengyou smiled and said, "How is it?"

Xu Xian said sincerely: "Unexpected, but reasonable, the plot is also very touching, the script created by the seniors is really excellent. It's just..." Xu Xian opened his mouth, feeling regretful in his heart.

She really liked the script, but as she had worried before, Lee Seung Woo was just an unknown student, no matter how much she wanted, the company would not agree to her acting.

Sighing secretly, Xu Xian got rid of his melancholy, and was about to politely refuse, but Li Chengyou suddenly asked: "Since you think this script is good, are you interested in investing?"

"Uh!"

Xu Xian was dumbfounded.

投…

investment?

What do you mean? ?

Didn't you invite me to play? ? ?
Xu Xian looked at Li Chengyou stupidly, and after a while, he was speechless: "Investment?"

Li Chengyou nodded and said with a sincere smile: "Yes! Investment!" After a pause, he said kindly, "After reading the script, you must be able to see that the scenes of this movie are very simple, so the production cost is not high .I have raised most of the funds so far, and there is still a gap of about 5000 million won, so if you think the script is not bad, are you interested in participating in it?"

Hearing Lee Seung Woo's confirmation, Seohyun was speechless.

Co-authoring for a long time is not to invite me to act, but to trick me into paying.

To be honest, 5000 million won is not much, and it is about 30 yuan when converted into Huaxia currency. This is not a high amount for Xu Xian, and she can afford it.

But the question is... why does she take it?
Just as she had worried before, Lee Seung Woo obviously wanted to make this script by himself, and after reading the script, Xu Xian also saw that what Lee Seung Woo wanted to make was not a short film, but a grown-up film.But Li Chengyou, a third-year student, even had on-site practice during his studies, but at most he just fiddled with the camera, without any actual directing experience.

With Li Chengyou's poor qualifications as a director, even Li Chengyou is not a director at all right now, how much water must be poured into her brain, before she is so stupid that she throws 5000 million into the water just like that.

Looking at Li Chengyou, Xu Xian actually wanted to ask a question - Senior, do I look so stupid and sweet in your eyes?

As if he understood the meaning in Xu Xian's eyes, Li Chengyou laughed dryly, but then he straightened his posture and said sincerely: "I know that I have no previous experience as a director, so I rashly invite you to invest, and it is reasonable for you to have doubts." Medium. But speaking from the heart, regardless of qualifications, just from the script, do you think this script has any investment value?"

Xu Xian twitched the corners of his mouth, looking dignified on the surface, but rolled his eyes in secret.

She felt that Li Chengyou was just talking nonsense.

The script is indeed one of the important elements of a movie, but the director is the core of a movie.A first-rate director can turn a third-rate script into a first-rate movie, but a third-rate director can also turn a first-rate script into a third-rate movie.

Do you think the director is more important than the script?

The most important thing is that we don't know each other well, so if you ask me to invest, I will invest, right?Why should I take this risk?Not to mention you didn't even invite me to be the heroine!

Although I will refuse if you invite me, at least you have to speak up.

Doesn't this embarrass me!
