Rebirth of the rich and famous

Chapter 107 Experimental Movies
It's hard to go into details in the Internet cafe, but at Tian Li's request, Song Xiaoye decided to follow this boy who seemed to be only in his early twenties to a coffee shop near the Drama Academy.

"Sorry! We are very poor now, so we can only invite you to this kind of place..."

"It's okay! This is already very good." Song Xiaoye was not polite.

Now she is not like her previous life, she has suffered all kinds of hardships, even the humblest restaurant or coffee shop, she doesn't care.

On the way here, Tian Li had roughly explained the situation.But it turned out that Tian Li was graduating this year, and the graduation of the directing department was different from other majors. In addition to submitting a thesis, each student was also required to shoot an experimental film.

"You know, it's actually a short film—whether it's black and white or color, it's a montage and a stream of consciousness, so people don't know what it's talking about, and there's no story..."

Tian Li scratched his head, "Actually, my classmates have already started filming, such as youth pain, sexual awareness, politics and philosophy—but, that's not what I want..."

The eyes staring at Song Xiaoye were very hot, Tian Li looked at Song Xiaoye with a little excitement, "After "Ghost Shadow" came out, I have watched it five times in a row, five times in three days—really , I really admire the director of this film. I heard that the filming cost of this film is only 6000, but now its box office has already reached [-] million, and there are still other regions that have not yet shown it—— God, What a high rate of return that is!"

"Less than [-]!" Song Xiaoye whispered, seeing Tian Li raised her head, she whispered very reservedly: "I mean the cost of its filming is less than [-] US dollars."

"Oh!" Tian Li managed to suppress his excitement, looked at Song Xiaoye eagerly, and just came over to hold her hand, "I think, to shoot a real movie - just like ghosts, I can also use Take a Chinese version of "Ghost Shadow" with a portable DV..."

Song Xiaoye nodded, but soon asked strangely: "Didn't you say that ghost movies are not allowed in mainland China?"

She only found out about this recently, and it is said that feudal superstitions cannot be propagated.

"You want to shoot "Ghost Shadow"?"

Obviously being poured cold water by Song Xiaoye, Tian Li had a bitter face, "Well, ghosts are not allowed to appear—but, even if there are no ghosts, we can still make horror movies, for example, if the protagonist has psychological problems or other things—in short, Ye Xiao, I hope you can help me!"

Song Xiaoye didn't speak, just stared at Tian Li.

It's hard to wait for someone to invite her to make a movie, okay!Experimental film!I still want to play a female ghost!
but……

Seeing Tian Li's nervous expression, Song Xiaoye suddenly smiled, "Okay, I'll help you."

"Really!?" Tian Li yelled, causing everyone around to look over.

"Well, really." She has a job and can act, which is more important than whether she can act in a big-budget and blockbuster movie.

Moreover, seeing Tian Li's excited look, she remembered how she was when she got the chance for the first time.

However, she agreed happily, but Song Xiaoye couldn't help but regret it the next day.

Did you promise too soon?This guy doesn't even have a script!
It was still in that cafe, but this time it wasn't just her and Tian Li who participated in the discussion, there was also a man and a woman.

The woman, named Lu Yan, is a third-year student in the screenwriting department.And the man, named Geng Feng, is also a senior who will be graduating next year.

What Tian Li meant was to give the script to Lu Yan, because this school girl likes to read ghost stories very much, and also writes ghost stories on an online forum called "Shui Ya".

And Geng Feng is his good buddy, so he gave up acting in other people's experimental films to help him.

"Geng Feng also played a role in a TV series before—well, that "*****" is very popular, even if you haven't seen it, you should have heard of it, it's the one by Qiao Xuan—we Geng Feng will act as someone who goes against Qiao Xuan..."

"A small character who died in two episodes!" Geng Feng answered coldly, without a smile on his face, he looked completely cool and handsome.

Such a combination?It may not be comparable to the crew of "Ghost Shadow".

Song Xiaoye smiled reluctantly, "When will the script come out?"

She has already promised to help out without receiving a salary, won't it just take a few months to wait for the script?
As if guessing what she was thinking, Lu Yan suddenly raised her head and stared at Song Xiaoye. The pen in her hand stopped, and the tip of the pen was facing Song Xiaoye.

"Ye Xiao, don't worry, I will hand in every draft of the script in two hours..."

"Oh," Song Xiaoye nodded, stared at Lu Yan's red eyes, and blinked.

Noticing something, Lu Yan raised her hand to wipe off her glasses and rubbed her eyes, "I stayed up too late last night..."

In a word, the original image of a master collapsed immediately.

Suppressing a smile, Song Xiaoye turned her head and pretended to drink coffee.

Because it is near the college, most of the people who come to the cafe to drink coffee are students.

They were probably regular customers. Although they stayed in the coffee shop all afternoon, having afternoon tea and enjoying free refills, no one came to harass them.

Lu Yan's handwriting was a bit messy, and the three of them took turns looking at the draft she had written, and they had to guess each other what the word was written in.

If you want to ask Lu Yan, she is either impatient "don't affect me" or she tilts her head and stares "wait for a while to think about it"...

Finally, Song Xiaoye finally read the whole story without guessing, and Lu Yan fell asleep on the table.

The story of the script is very simple. It tells the story of a young man traveling alone to a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.The man who had just broken up in love and wanted to travel to heal his wounds took a DV to take pictures of the beautiful scenery, but inadvertently captured the back of a woman.

Although he didn't see the face, he had an intuition that the woman in white must be beautiful. Out of curiosity, he searched for that woman everywhere in the water town.Then I photographed the beautiful but sad woman in white, and fell into an inexplicable love.

But soon, he discovered that something was wrong, because the woman he fell in love with always appeared at night.And no matter how I contacted him during the day, he couldn't find her.Even when he took her home at night, he didn't find out about this person.

So, the man suspected that the woman was a ghost, and began to be suspicious, and decided to record everything with DV...

"This story is very interesting, but I don't quite understand the last paragraph. Is this woman a ghost?!"

After Song Xiaoye finished asking, Lu Yan, who seemed to be asleep while lying on the table, suddenly sat up.

"Do you think she is a ghost?!"

"You look more like a ghost now!" Geng Feng said coldly, then looked at Song Xiaoye, and said calmly: "She is a bit of a nagging person, don't mind."

Nodding her head, Song Xiaoye avoided Lu Yan's straight eyes, but still felt a little nervous.No wonder Tian Li asked her to write a ghost script.indeed……

Thinking about it, Song Xiaoye pursed her lips and smiled. Although the people in this group seemed a little weird, they were also very interesting!
Leaning forward, Song Xiaoye looked at Tian Li who was writing and drawing on the paper, and couldn't help but ask, "This is the director's storyboard?"

Looking up, Tian Li was stunned for a while, then nodded, and then lowered his head without saying a word.

"Do you think we are all weird?"

"Huh?" Song Xiaoye smiled, but didn't speak.

It wasn't what she was thinking, did Geng Feng see it?
Putting down the paper in his hand, Geng Feng looked at Song Xiaoye, "The commercial you shot with Qiao Xuan was very nice..."

"Ah, you recognized it!" Song Xiaoye laughed out loud, "Tian Li didn't realize it at all!"

Geng Feng smiled, propped his chin with his hands, and said lightly: "Qiao Xuan is not a very easy person to get along with, you have suffered too!?"

"Fortunately, he is nice..." blurted out, Song Xiaoye looked at Geng Feng, thought for a while, and then smiled, "Sometimes, some people speak aggressively, but they may not be malicious..."

Without speaking, Geng Feng stared at Song Xiaoye for a long time before saying calmly, "You and Qiao Xuan are very familiar!"

It's not a question, but an affirmation. She clearly thinks that she is speaking for him because she is familiar with Qiao Xuan.

Song Xiaoye tilted her head and thought for a while, but she still didn't speak.

Although it seems that the partner is not so reliable, but in real action, it is still very efficient.

In less than a week, everything was already prepared, so the matter of finding time to visit Manager Hua Xinglu in person in BJ had to be postponed.

Rented DV, self-provided costumes, and AA-based travel expenses. The crew of the play tentatively named "Infatuation" is the poorest crew Song Xiaoye has ever seen.

The filming location was not far from Shanghai, and it was set in Zhouli, which is a famous water town.

Whether it is the river passing through the town, the awnings on the river, or the simple Ming and Qing buildings on both sides, there is a simple and natural atmosphere everywhere.

When it is drizzling, walking in the rainy alley, it seems that you can hear those black Daiwa singing in a low voice—singing the song of the years.

In winter, the weather in Jiangnan Water Town is always cloudy and there is little sunshine.

And this gloomy feeling is exactly the keynote that "Infatuation" wants to express.

It's just that, in this kind of weather, it is indeed a bit cold to wear a long skirt to perform.

Because most of the scenes where Song Xiaoye appeared were at night, so Geng Feng was the main shooter during the day.

Because it was shot on DV, when Geng Feng, the leading actor, was not on camera, Tian Li took the shot, and when Geng Feng appeared, he took selfies.

Although Geng Feng usually looks cool and cold, but when shooting, his expression is very rich.

"Hello, dear fellow, did you see me?" Geng Feng smirked at the camera of the DV, holding on to the DV with one hand, "You all saw me! I'm fine, even if it's..."

He tilted his head, a look of gloom flashed in his eyes, but within half a second, he smiled again, "What's wrong with being dumped by a woman? There are so many good women in this world, and I may not be able to meet cute girls anymore." right?"

The camera turned away, but his voice continued: "Maybe, right here, I will meet the one I love the most..."

　Thanks Luan for the reward!
　　It was moldy today. I ate leftovers in the morning, and I was stuck in my gums by fishbone. I couldn’t get it out after a long time. I had to go to the dentist to get it out. It was as long as a thumbnail. Even though it was out, the gums were still a little swollen. up.Look, there is everything in this world!
